Problema Solution
Two clocks were set to show the same time this morning. But one of the clocks gains 2 minutes per hr and the other clock loses 3 minutes per hr. Right not one clock reads 2:30 and the other reads 3:05. At what time this morning were the clocks set?
Answer provided by our tutors
The difference increases 5 minutes per hour
The difference is now 35 minutes.
35/5=7 hours ago they were set on the same time
2:30 -7 hours + 7*2 minutes = 7:44
3:05 -7hours -7*3 minutes = 7:44
