Question 628825
<pre>
To strike 6 times, the clock goes

bong-bong-bong-bong-bong-bong

Notice that there are only 5 dashes between those 6 bongs. Therefore
there are only 5 time intervals between the 6 bongs.

So we divide 6 seconds by 5 and get each time interval between bongs
as 6÷5 or 1.2 seconds.

To strike 10 times, the clock goes

bong-bong-bong-bong-bong-bong-bong-bong-bong-bong

Notice that there are only 9 dashes between those 10 bongs. Therefore
there are only 9 time intervals between the 10 bongs.

Since each time interval is 1.2 seconds, 9 of those time intervals between
bongs is 9×1.2 seconds which equals 10.8 seconds.
