The clock skipped 6 seconds on average per 30 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
- The starting time, when the clock was accurate = 12 noon on Tuesday
- The final time, when the clock was late by 612 seconds = 3 pm on Thursday
- The number of hours between final time and initial time = 2 days and 3 hours
- Therefore, the number of 30 minutes duration in 51 hours
- Total late time = 612 seconds
Hence, the average of seconds the clock skipped every 30 minutes
= Total late time/ Number of 30 minutes duration
Thus, the clock skipped 6 seconds on average per 30 minutes.
