Answer:
56.25 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
2:00 PM - 1:36 PM = 24 minutes
24 minutes : 3 hours = 8 minutes / hour later than in reality
Starting from 10:00 AM:
5:30 PM - 10:00 AM = 7 hours and 30 minutes = 450 minutes
450 / 8 = 56.25 minutes late in total

Answer: 50
Step-by-step explanation:
10 am - 1:36 pm = 216 minutes.
Time gained = 24 mins (2 pm)
Time gained per minute = 24/216
Total correct time = 10 am to 5:30 pm = 450 minutes
Time gained for 450 minutes = 450 X 24/216 = 50
