Answer 2

Answer:

If a watch becomes fast by 5 minutes everyday then it becomes fast $20 \frac{5}{6} \%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a watch becomes fast by 5 minutes everyday.

Now we want to find percentage does the watch become fast.

We know, Time in a day is 24 hours.

1 hours = 60 minutes

By unitary method,

1 hour equal to 60 minutes

So,24 hours equal to $(24 \times 60) = 1440$minutes.

Here 1440 minutes is 100%

By unitary method,

1 minutes is $\frac{100}{24} \% = \frac{25}{6} \%$

So,5 minutes $= \frac{25}{6} \times 5\% = \frac{125}{6} \% = 20 \frac{5}{6} \%$.
