Look at the clock.
- How many minutes does it take for the minute hand to move from number 7 to 12?
- If the clock is 25 min slow, what is the correct time?
- If the clock is 15 min fast, what is the correct time?
(a)
Time that the clock takes for the minute hand to move from number 7 to 12
= 25 min
(b)
25 min after 4.35 p.m. = 5.00 p.m.
Correct time if the clock is 25 min slow is 5.00 p.m.
(c)
15 min before 4.35 p.m. = 4.20 p.m.
Correct time if the clock is 15 min fast is 4.20 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 25 min; (b) 5.00 p.m.; (c) 4.20 p.m.
