A broken clock that loses 12 minutes every hour is set at 12:00 noon at the same time a normal clock has its time set to 12:00 noon. When the broken clock reaches 12:00 midnight, what will the normal clock read?
Set up a proportion normal clock to broken clock:
60/48 = n/12
Using our proportion calculator, we get:
n = 15 hours
12:00 AM plus 15 hours = 3 pm
