I just started learning about rate and I am stuck on a question.(A watch keeps perfect time but only has an hour hand. If the hour hand is three fifths of the distance between 1and2, determine the actual time in hours and minutes)

36 minutes past 1, or 1:36

Step-by-step explanation:

A watch normally has an hour hand that does one revolution in 12 hours.

It takes 1 hour to go from the 1 o'clock position to the 2 o'clock position.

Since 1 hour equals 60 minutes, it takes 60 minutes to go from the 1 o'clock position to the 2 o'clock position.

The hour hand is 3/5 of the way from 1 to 2, so the number of minutes past 1 o'clock is 3/5 of 60 minutes.

3/5 of 60 minutes =

= 3/5 * 60 minutes

= 3/5 * 60/1 minutes

= 180/5 minutes

= 36 minutes

The time is 36 minutes past 1, or 1:36

what? ?
