simple answer
see the time and how hours
12-9=3 hours
3*60=180
so
(180-48)÷3=44 minutes
the 3 because of twice when we but it it become 3
Twenty minutes before noon is 11:40 AM.
24 minutes before noon, or the current time is 11:38am.
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.

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

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!
12 min before 12:00
Let ( x ) be the number of minutes past 9 AM. According to the problem, 48 minutes ago it was twice that amount, so we have the equation: [ x - 48 = 2x ] Solving this, we get ( -48 = x ), which means ( x = 48 ). Therefore, it was 48 minutes past 9 AM, which is 9:48 AM. From 9:48 AM to 12 noon is 2 hours and 12 minutes, or 132 minutes.
