Answer: 5:36 p.m.
Step-by-step explanation:
Time from 8 a.m. on monday to 6 p.m. on the wednesday = 58 hours.
24 hours 10 min. of this clock = 24 hours of the correct clock.
145/6 hrs of this clock = 24 hours of the correct clock.
58 hours of this clock = 24*(6/145)*58 hrs of the correct clock
= 58 hrs 36 min of the correct clock.
Therefore, the correct time is 58 hrs 36 min. after 8 a.m.
This is 5:36 p.m.
