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:



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

1.The height is 6 inches ad the width (diameter) is 3 inches!
2. So the jars are Volume ≈ 42.41 inches so each boy needs 200 / 42.41 which equals approximately 4.72 inches per jar. So if wach boys have half the amount of jars which is 20 you multiply 20 by 4.72 which is 94.4 inches for each boy!
