The train is running 4 minutes late. It "needs" to be running 1/2 hours, or 30 minutes late. So it needs to lose 26 minutes, or 26*60 = 1560 seconds. It loses 4 seconds per minute. So it loses 1560 seconds in 1560/4 = 390 minutes = 61/2 hours.
1140 minutes [I solve the problem in hours and convert to minutes at the end, just to make the numbers smaller.] 3 seconds per minute=3 minutes per hour So the lateness of the train (in minutes) is given by: Minutes late=3+3t, where t is the time in hours. We want to find the point where the train is 60 minutes (which equals one hour) late: 60=3+3t 60-3=3t 57=3t t=57/3=19 So in 19 hours (=19*60=1140 minutes), the train will be 60 minutes, or one hour, late.

There is no law addressing this topic, so how many minutes an employee is allowed to be late depends on the employer.
Few is usually more than 2. If someone is more than 5 minutes late, it is more than a "few."

Just divide by 60.The answer is 9.766 ***** A bit more information: 586 ÷ 60 = 9 hours 46 minutes.
