Hello.

The answer is: The Commutative property

The Commutative property states that order does not matter. Multiplication and addition are commutative. Commutative is also when you change the order of the equation but its still that same answer.

Have a nice day.

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:

$60x = 56 \times 750$
