Look at the clock.
- How many minutes does it take for the minute hand to move from number 2 to 7?
- If the clock is 40 min slow, what is the correct time?
- If the clock is 25 min fast, what is the correct time?
(a)
Time that the clock takes for the minute hand to move from number 2 to 7
= 25 min
(b)
40 min after 5.10 a.m. = 5.50 a.m.
Correct time if the clock is 40 min slow is 5.50 a.m.
(c)
25 min before 5.10 a.m. = 4.45 a.m.
Correct time if the clock is 25 min fast is 4.45 a.m.
Answer(s): (a) 25 min; (b) 5.50 a.m.; (c) 4.45 a.m.
