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?

OpenStudy (squirrels):

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"

OpenStudy (squirrels):

4 days
