A watch gains **3 minutes every 30 minutes**. If the watch shows the correct time at **5:00 a.m**, what time will it display after **6 hours**?

Question

Accepted Answer

The watch gains **3 minutes every 30 minutes**, which means it gains **6 minutes per hour**.

In **6 hours**, the total time gained by the watch is:
$$
6 	imes 6 = 36 \, 	ext{minutes}
$$

The correct time after 6 hours is:
$$
5:00 \, 	ext{a.m.} + 6 \, 	ext{hours} = 11:00 \, 	ext{a.m.}
$$

Since the watch gains **36 minutes**, the time displayed by the watch will be:
$$
11:00 \, 	ext{a.m.} + 36 \, 	ext{minutes} = 11:36 \, 	ext{a.m.}
$$

Thus, after 6 hours, the watch will show **11:36 a.m.**
