Question

A clock shows the time as 9 a.m. If the minute hand gains 5 minutes every hour, how many minutes will the clock gain by 6 p.m.?

Answer 1

Here, the only thing we have to do is count the hours for 9 a.m. To 5 p.m.( 5 because the question says '' by 6 '' which means before 6)

Hrs blw 9am to 5pm = 8hrs

Ans = 8×5 = 40 min
