Answer:

<em>At 8:00 am on next day, Beth's watch was one hour ahead of Ann's watch</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

When two magnitudes have a linear dependency where one of them is the other by a constant quantity, we can say they are proportional. Like distance and time when moving at a constant speed, double time means double distance, triple time means triple distance and so on.

The problem explains how two watches run too slow or too fast in such a way that every hour they are 3 more minutes apart. If Ann and Beth set their watches to the correct time at noon on Sunday, by 1 pm their watches are 3 minutes apart. By 2 pm their watches are 6 minutes apart and so on.

When will their watches be 1 hour (60 minutes) apart? We'll use proportions to find it out.

If every hour they get 3 minutes apart, we need 60/3 = 20 hours to have their watches 1 hour apart.

Answer: At 8:00 am on next day, Beth's watch was one hour ahead of Ann's watch
