A clock chime 5 times in 4 seconds. How many times will it chime in 10 seconds.?

Question

ANSWER is 11 times. It chimes at zero and then once every second for 10 seconds.

Nobody has given the correct answer.

Answer 1

Right now, you have this equation

5/4 = x/10
(5 times every 4 seconds, x times every 10 seconds)

Next, cross multiply (criss cross)
4x=50

Divide:
x=50/4 or 12.5 times

Answer 2

The clock chimes 5 times in 4 s. It means it chimes for 5/4 times every second.

Hence in 10 seconds it will chime for (10 x 5 ) divided by 4 = 50/4 = (12 + 1/2) times.

But as it cannot chime for 1/2 times, hence the answer = 12 times.

Answer 3

12 an 1/2 times (I hope I'm right) because if it chimes 5 times in 4 seconds multiply that by 2 (8 seconds) 10 chimes then it would be something like 2 1/2 half chimes in a 2 second period 2 reach 10 seconds an 12 and 1/2 chimes.

Answer 4

I would say the time is 5 seconds before 5 o'clock and the clock will not chime more than 5 times in 10 seconds. But in 1 hour and 5 seconds it will chime 6 times.

Answer 5

12 times

Answer 6

12

Answer 7

12

Answer 8

12, many people have said 12.5 but you can't have half a chime, so there will be 12 chimes in 10 seconds.

Answer 9

5 / 4 * 10 = 12.5
There is no half chime and therefore is 12 times.

Answer 10

if ur data is accurate and clocked chimed fifth time exactly at 4 seconds then 12 is the answer, else 13 is the answer.....
