There is a formula for adding consecutive integers.
sum = (n * (n+1)) / 2
for summing 1 through 12 it is
sum = (12 * 13) / 2 = 156/2 = 78
The clock goes through two "12-hour cycles" in a day, so the answer is 2 * 78 or 156 times.

Answer:

<h2>300 times per day.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, to solve this problem we just have to sum:

1+2+3+...+24

But, using an arithmetic series, we have to use this formula:

Sum=n(\frac{a_{1}+a_{n} }{2})

Where, n is the total number of elements (in this case is 24), a_{1} is the first element (1) and a_{n} is the last element (24), because a day has 24 hours.

So, replacing all variables, we have:

Sum=24(\frac{1+24}{2})\\Sum=24\frac{25}{2}=300

Therefore, the bell will be struck 300 times per day.
