a.M. On monday. When the clock shows the time 6:00 p.M. On wednesday, what is the correct time

Answer 1

5:50 is a correct answer

Answer 2

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.
