From 12 noon Wednesday to 12 noon Friday, it's 48 hrs
It gains 4 min every three hrs, therefore
4 * = 64 min which is 1 hr 4 min
It will show 01:04 Pm

b. The watch is reset again to show the correct time at 12 noon on Friday.
What is the correct time when the watch is showing 19:40 on Friday night?
Find the relationship between the correct elapsed time to the watch time
3 hrs 4 min to 3 hrs
184/180 = 1.022
convert 7 hr 40 min to min: 7*60 + 40 = 460 min
let t = the correct elapsed time in minutes
1.0222t = 460
t = 460/ 1.222
t = 450 min
convert to hrs and min 450 min = 7 hrs 30 min,
Correct time 19:30, when the watch says 19:40
