Question 1063023
Before the watch completely stopped,
it was indicating the passage of
{{{60-15=45}}} minutes for each {{{60}}} minutes (1 hour) of actual elapsed time.
The ratio of elapsed time to watch-indicated time was
{{{60/45=4/3}}} .
By the time the watch stopped, it was indicating that
{{{3hours+15minutes=(3*60+15)}}}{{{minutes=195minutes}}}
had passed since noon.
The time elapsed since noon (in minutes) was actually
{{{(4/3)*195=260}}} ,
which is {{{(4*60+20)}}}{{{minutes=4hours+20minutes}}} ,
so it was actualy 4:20 PM.
Now, 8 hours later, the time is
20 minutes past midnight, or
12:20 AM on the next day.
