Answer 2

Madame,you are an enigma. In five months you have asked six questions,and offered no answers or best answers. Your screen name says that you are a teen, yet your delegated  questions appear to be of a greater degree of difficulty that a teen would be subjected to.  Your name suggests that Spanish is your native tongue, yet your questions are in perfect English.  You refer to this as a "word problem" when it is clearly either logical or mathematical.

The minute hand moves through 60 minutes in the time that the hour hand takes to move through 5. A ratio of 12:1. If both hands move at their constant speeds, in the space of a minute, the hour hand will have moved 1/12th of a minute and so will not be "exactly" a minute behind.  But as I said, the whole thing is a mystery to me.

Answer 3

1 minute I think.

Answer 4

1)          01:12     6 minutes ahead

2)          03:24     7 minutes ahead

3)          05:36      8 minutes ahead........and so on.
