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

How many minutes before 12 noon is it if 72 minutes ago it was twice as many minutes past 9am?

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 = 540Now 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 72That make the equation 720-x-72Those minutes have to be twice as many past nine so you can write 540+2xNow, those two equations have to balance so 720-x-72=540+2xafter you subtract 540 from both sides and add x to both sides, you are left with 108= 3xdivide both sides by 3 and BOOM...3636 minutes before noon is 11:24Now to check...11:24 is 2hrs or (120 minutes) + 24 minutes past 9144 minutes11:24 minus 72 minutes (1hr + 10 minutes) is 10:12from 9 until 10:12 is72 minutes(2) (72)= 144.... It checks out.

How many minutes before 12 noon if 44 minutes ago it was 3 times as many minutes past 9am?

Well, isn't that a happy little puzzle! Let's see, if it was 44 minutes ago that it was 3 times as many minutes past 9 am, that means it was 11 am at that time. So, we are 60 minutes away from 12 noon, and if we subtract the 44 minutes, we have 16 minutes left before 12 noon. Just enough time to paint a beautiful little landscape!

If you've been awake since noon and it's 345 pm how many minutes have you been awake?

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.
