It is 36 minutes before noon, or 11:24 am.
This is how I got it...
Change all hours into minutes by first multiplying them by 60. For example, 1 o'clock would be (1) (60) or just 60.
Noon or 12 = 720 and 9am = 540
Now for X.
X will be current time in minutes before noon and that equals noon-x or 720-x.
Now, 72 minutes ago was current time... minus 72
That make the equation 720-x-72
Those minutes have to be twice as many past nine so you can write 540+2x
Now, those two equations have to balance so 720-x-72=540+2x
after you subtract 540 from both sides and add x to both sides, you are left with 108= 3x
divide both sides by 3 and BOOM...36
36 minutes before noon is 11:24
Now to check...
11:24 is 2hrs or (120 minutes) + 24 minutes past 9
144 minutes
11:24 minus 72 minutes (1hr + 10 minutes) is 10:12
from 9 until 10:12 is
72 minutes
(2) (72)= 144.... It checks out.
You first need to convert everything to minutes: 12 noon = 12 x 60 = 720 minutes 9 am = 9 x 60 = 540 minutes Let x = number of minutes before noon The time now is 12 noon -x = 720 -x minutes 48 minutes ago it was 720-x-48 720 -x - 48 = 540 + 2x 720-48-540 = 3x x = 44 minutes It is 44 minutes before noon, or 11:16 am
24 minutes before noon, or the current time is 11:38am.

34 minutes to twelve I agree with this answer and it checks out.

12 min before 12:00
10:47 am
nine minutes before none is 5:30
225 minutes. You didn't say if you had been awake since noon the day before or a few days before, but if things are as they appear, then that's the answer.
Ten minutes before noon is a time. Or you could say: 10 to twelve 10 to noon 11.50 am.
