Question

The train station clock runs too fast and gains 8 minutes every 5 days. How many minutes and seconds will it have gained at the end of 8 days?

Answer 1

first you would figure out how many minutes it gains per day.
you do this by solving 8/5
this equals 1.6
since the train gains 1.6 minutes per day, you multiply this by 8.
1.6x8= 12.8
