Good Luck. The person who gets the correct answer first, will receive the best answer.

If the clock loses 10 minutes in line with hour, then it truly is working in easy terms 5/6 as speedy as an precise clock. So the question turns into "3 hours is 5/6 of what?", or 3 = 5/6 x. Then x = (3)(6/5) = 18/5 = 3 3/5. yet 3/5 of an hour is 36 minutes, so the superb time is 3:36 P.M.
