What would the 24 hour clock time be if the clocks were 16 minutes slow?

The clocks would read 16 minutes earlier than the actual factual time.
Sadly, you haven't told us what time it really is.
Incidentally, a clock can be 16 minutes 'behind', but it can't be 16 minutes 'slow'.
If a clock is 'slow', then the amount of time it loses depends on how long it's been
running since it was set, and would be expressed in units of "minutes per hour", or
some other such dimensionless ratio.

How many times does a clock chime in a 24 hour day?
It depends on the clock; None of my clocks chime even once. A clock that rings the quarter hours (like the clock in the Palace of Westminster - aka, Big Ben) would chime 96 times per 24 hours. Some clocks only chime on the hours, which would be 24 chimes/day.
