Question 1168188: Ellie's watch gains one minute an hour, while her bedroom clock loses two minutes an hour. she set them both to the correct time on Sunday. on Monday morning, she noticed that the watch clock showed her 7am , while the bedroom clock showed 6 am. at what time on Sunday did she set the two clocks correctly?? Answer by ikleyn(52784) (Show Source):
From the given information, we can conclude that the second event happened 20 hours after the first event.
It is our first step in the logic chain.
It allows us to make the second step and conclude that the correct time on Monday was 6:40 am.
Hence, on Sunday, the correct time was 10:40 am. ANSWWER
