What is the time if the number of minutes since midnight is 9 times the number of minutes before noon?
Number of minutes since midnight = 9*number of minutes since
noon.
So number of minutes since midnight = 9/(9+1)*number of minutes
between midnight and noon.
= 0.9*number of minutes between midnight and noon.
= 0.9*time between midnight and noon.
= 0.9*12 hours.
= 10.8 hours.
= 10 hours and 0.8*60 minutes
= 10 hours and 48 minutes.
So the time is 10:48 am
