Question

a clock gain 30 second more every hour what is the percent increase in the time that it shows​

Answer 1

Answer:

The clock shows 5/3 percent increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each hour there is an increase of 30 seconds

Therefore we must convert 1 hour into seconds

i. e. 1 hour = 60 mins* 60 sec

= 3600 seconds

Now for the increase in percentage

If,

100% = 3600 sec

x % = 60 sec

Upon cross multiplying we get

100*60/ 3600

=5/3 percent

Therefore there is 5/3 % increase in the time.
