A watch loses five seconds every one hour How many minutes will it loss in two days
1 day=24 hours
2 days=48 hours
If it loses 5seconds every hour then in 48hours it will lose
48hoursx5seconds=240seconds
60seconds=1minute
=240/60
=4minutes
In 2days,it loses 4minutes
good work, but if you are going to include the units in your expressions, it is important to be careful with them:
48hours x 5seconds=240 hour-seconds
what you need to do is make sure that the units cancel properly.
48hr x 5s/hr = 240s
To find out how many minutes the watch will lose in two days, we can break it down into steps:
1. Determine how many seconds the watch loses in one day: Since the watch loses five seconds every hour, it will lose 5 seconds x 24 hours = 120 seconds in a day.
2. Convert the seconds lost in one day to minutes: There are 60 seconds in a minute, so 120 seconds / 60 = 2 minutes.
3. Calculate the total minutes lost in two days: Since we know the watch will lose 2 minutes in one day, it will lose 2 minutes x 2 days = 4 minutes in two days.
Therefore, the watch will lose 4 minutes in two days.
