Question

A watch which looses a half a minute every hour was set to read the correct time at 0445hr on Monday. Determine in twelve hour system the time the watch will show on Friday at 1845hr the same week.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Using a 24 HOUR SYSTEM

The total time from Monday to Friday times given

 =  24 x 4   + (18:45 - 4:45) = 96 + 14  = 110 hours

110 hours  *   30/3600  = .91667  hours lost = 55 minutes lost

 watch will show   18:45   - 55 minute = 17:50    ( 5:50 in 12-hour system)
