Question

I promise I will mark as brainiest my watch was correct at noon, after which it started to lose 17 minutes per hour until 6 hours ago it stopped completely. It now shows the time as 2.52pm what time is it now ?

Answer 1

Answer:

10:00 Pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 17 away from 1:00 = 12:43

Take 17 away from 1:43 = 1:26

Take 17 away from 2:26 = 2:09

Take 17 away from 3:09 = 2:52

There we are: at the time which the watch says now.

Now let's see what the correct time should be:

at 12:43 it is really 1:00

at 1:26 it is really 2:00

at 2:09 it is really 3:00

at 2:52 it is really 4:00

However, it says the watch stopped 6 hours ago meaning that the time should be 10:00 as 4 + 6 = 10.

I'm always happy to help :)
