This is tricky.  Fasten your seat belt.  It's going to be a boompy ride.

If it's a 12-hour clock (doesn't show AM or PM), then it has to gain
12 hours in order to appear correct again.

How many times must it gain 3 minutes in order to add up to 12 hours ?

(12 hours) x (60 minutes/hour) / (3 minutes) = 240 times

It has to gain 3 minutes 240 times, in order for the hands to be in the correct positions again. Each of those times takes 1 hour.  So the job will be complete in 240 hours  =  <em>10 days .</em>

Check:

In <u>10</u> days, there are <u>240</u> hours.
The clock gains <u>3</u> minutes every hour ==> <u>720</u> minutes in 240 hours.
In 720 minutes, there are  720/60 = <u>12 hours</u>       yay !
_________________________________

If you are on a military base and your clocks have 24-hour faces,
then at the same rate of gaining, one of them would take 20 days
to appear to be correct again.
_________________________________

Note:
It doesn't have to be an analog clock.  Cheap digital clocks can
gain or lose time too (if they run on a battery and don't reference
their rate to the 60 Hz power that they're plugged into).

Its a right triangle 20ft and 24ft?
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

a triangle, I'm guessing 20ft and 24 ft on the outsides,

would be:

Equation to get the area of a triangle: (A*B)/2

(20*24)/2=Area

20*24= 480

480/2= 240

area= 240

5x+2(1-x)=2(2x-1)<br> x=6<br> O x=-3<br> O x = 3<br> O<br> x = 9
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

x= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We do like:

5x+2(1-x)=2(2x-1)

5x + 2 -2x = 4x -2

or 3x +2 = 4x -2

3x-4x +2 = -4x+4x -2

or -x +2= -2

and -x+2 -2 = -2 -2

or -x = -4

and x = 4 is the solution.

Have a good day.
