The train station clock runs too fast and gains 2 minutes every 4 days. How many minutes and seconds will it have gained at the end of 5 days?

Ok so every 4 days the clock gains 2 minutes. That means there are 30 seconds gained every day. Do you know what I mean?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hmm no
OpenStudy (squirrels):
ok so how many seconds are there in a minute?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
60
OpenStudy (squirrels):
Ok so if you think about it. 2 mins every 4 days.
30 seconds + 30 seconds + 30 seconds + 30 seconds = 2 mins
those are 4 "30 seconds"
