0 votes 0 votes for clock 1: gain per hour =20/24=5/6 for clock 2 : loss per hour = 40/24=10/6 so for six hours difference=10/6 *6 + 5/6 * 6=15 seconds so when clock 1 is at 4 pm clock 2 will be at 3:59:45 meight answered Jul 14, 2018 meight 22 points comment Share See all 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
