You can put this solution on YOUR website!
68*t/60=390
take the decimal of the answer and multiply by 60=minutes
add that to the hours of t and the minutes above and add to 8:40
remember that 40+20=1 hour
subtract 60 from the total minutes and add one to the hours
subtract 12 from the hours to get clock time.
