Question #ce087

Answer 1

b) `48/(5x)`

Explanation:

Let us convert `3` days in to hours.
Number of hours in `1` day`=24`
Number of hours in `3` days`=24xx3=72`

Numbers of minutes gained by clock in `x` hours`=8`
Numbers of minutes gained by clock in `1` hour`=8/x`
Numbers of minutes gained by clock in `72` hours`=8/x xx72`
`=576/x`
Converting these minutes in to hours
Numbers of hours gained by clock in `3` days`=(576/x )/60`
`=cancel 576^48/x xx 1/cancel60_5=48/(5x)`
