Answer:

12 noon

Step-by-step explanation:

Clock 1 loses 3 minutes every 2 hours. Now, 2 hours = 120 minutes.

This means, it has speed of 120 - 3 = 117 minutes for every 2 hours.

Thus, in 1 hours, it's speed = 117/2 = 58.5 min/hr

Clock 2 gains 3 minutes every 4 hours

Which means in an hour, it gains ; 4/3 minutes

Thus, it's speed an hour is; 60 + 4/3 = 61.333 min/hr

Now, When he returns home in less than two weeks, the clocks show the same time.

let's say the number of hours he was away is x. For the 2 clocks to show the same time, it means they have to show it by 12 noon at another day since it was at noon that he set the correct times before leaving.

Thus, they will both be showing 12 noon.

a light switch works 25% of the time, how many times does it not work if switched on 64 times in a week
alexira [117]
25% of 64 is 16
\frac{25}{100}  =  \frac{x}{64}  \\ x =  \frac{64 \times 25}{100}  =  \frac{1600}{100}  = 16
it will work properly 16 times
64 - 16 = 48
it will not work 48 times
hope this helps

Line segment EF has a lenth if 5 units. It is translated 5 units to the right on a coordinate plane to obtain line segment E'F'.
vivado [14]

Translation does not affect length.

So the length of E'F' is 5 units.
