Answer:

At noon, the hour and minute hands of a clock point in the same direction at 12:00

and at night, its just the sam both points at 12:00..

Step-by-step explanation:

When starting from noon the hands first overlap at shortly past one, then shortly past two and so on. Count how often they overlap, it will be 11 times. From this we can draw that the first exact time they overlap will be 60min + 5min + 1/11*5min.

The question asks for the last time before noon that the hands point in the same direction so just multiply the numbers by 10 and you get the minutes: (60min + 5min + 1/11*5min)*10. Convert this into hours, minutes and seconds and you have the answer: 10:54:33.
