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.

I started my two clocks at the same. one is slow and loses 2 minutes every hour the other one is fast and gains 1 minute every hour. how long will it take for the faster clock to be 1 hour ahead?

20 hours because the fast clock technically gains 3 minutes every hour. An hour has 60 minutes, so if you divide that by 3 you get 20.

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.

15 minutes. Each hour can be broken down into 4 quarters. 15 minutes after the hour is "a quarter past," and 15 minutes before the hour is "a quarter to." A On an digital clock, this would read (for example) 1:45 and it would be " a quarter to 2"
