Question

A clock gains 0.020 seconds per minute. How many seconds will the clock gain in exactly 6 months, assuming exactly 30 days per month? (Chemistry)

Answer 1

Answer: 5184.000 seconds

Explanation:

If there are 30 days per month then we are trying to find how many seconds the clock will gain in 180 days (30*6). If the clock gains 0.020 seconds per minute, then it gains 28.800 seconds per day (0.020*60*24). We can then multiply this by 180 days to get 5184.000 seconds.
