Question 1 2 pts Logic Puzzle: A certain clock runs fast; it indicates that 1 hour has passed when actually only 56 minutes have

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Using proportions, it is found that the correct time when it reads 10:30pm is of 9:40 pm.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, when 56 minutes have passed, the clock indicates that 60 minutes have passed. Hence, what is the time passed when the clock indicates that 12 hours and 30 minutes, that is, 60 x 12 + 30 = 750 minutes have passed?

Hence, the <em>rule of three</em> is:

56 minutes - 60 minutes

x minutes - 750 minutes

Applying cross multiplication:

$60x = 56 \times 750$

$x = \frac{56 \times 750}{60}$

$x = 700$

700 minutes is 660/60 = 11 hours + 40 minutes after 10:00 am, hence the correct time is of 9:40 pm.

Amanda is 12 years old she has two sevens time as old as her father how many years ago was her father four times as old as Amand

Allisa [31]

Ok so first I am assuming you ment 2 sevenths so 12 divided by 2 sevenths is 42. so the father is currently 42. so when she was 10 he was 40. since 10 is 4 times 40 that is the age we need. so 42 minus 40 is 2. therefore the answer is 2.
