Respuesta :
The number of times that the clock was skipping every 30 minutes from Friday noon to Monday 6 pm is; 3 seconds
What is the clock skip reading?
We know that from time conversion;
1 day = 24 hours
1 hour = 60 minutes = 2 × (30 minutes)
1 day = 24 hours × 2 × (30 minutes)
1 day = 48 × (30 minutes)
Thus, there are 48 times of 30-minutes in a day. However on Friday, we start counting at noon, which is half of the day.
Thus, on Monday, the mark is only up to 6 pm, which is three-fourths of the day. Thus;
Friday = 48 × (3/4) = 24
Saturday = 48
Sunday = 48
Monday = 48 × (3/4) = 36
Total times = 24 + 48 + 48 + 36 = 156
Thus, it means that there was 156 times of 30-minutes that have passed during the time period.
x = 468 seconds ÷ 156
x = 3 seconds
Therefore, the clock was skipping 3 seconds every 30 minutes from Friday noon to Monday 6 pm.
