Question 437860
My watch loses six minutes every hour. I set my watch this morning at 7AM using an accurate clock. Now, the time on my watch reads 1:45PM. What is the correct time?
------------
Losing 6 min per hour means it runs at 54/60 real time = 0.9 real time
From 7 AM to 1:45 PM is 6.75 hours
The actual time that has passed is 6.75/0.9 hours = 7.5 hours
0700 + 730 = 1430 or 2:30 PM
