1.	A clock takes three seconds to strike three. How longwill it take to strike nine?352
Answer» Like old times, at 3:00 hours, there would be three strikes and at 9:00 hours, nine strikes. The first strike takes place at exactly 3:00. Since the first strike is over, the next 3 seconds is used to do two left over strikes. Hence for every strike, it takes 3/2 =1.5 seconds. Now at 9:00 hours:First dong takes place at 9. Subsequently, 8 strikes remain. For every dong, it takes 1.5 second. Hence the next 8 will take 1.5 seconds each.= 8*1.5=12 seconds i think it 9 ......3×3

Answer»

Like old times, at 3:00 hours, there would be three strikes and at 9:00 hours, nine strikes.

The first strike takes place at exactly 3:00. Since the first strike is over, the next 3 seconds is used to do two left over strikes.

Hence for every strike, it takes 3/2 =1.5 seconds.

Now at 9:00 hours:First dong takes place at 9.

Subsequently, 8 strikes remain. For every dong, it takes 1.5 second.

Hence the next 8 will take 1.5 seconds each.= 8*1.5=12 seconds

i think it 9 ......3×3
