From 11:55am to 12:00pm (noon), there will be 5 minutes which translates to 5*60 = 300 seconds. Since the clock ticks 3 times per second, there will be 3*300 = 900 ticks during this duration.
From 12:00pm (noon) to 1:00pm, there are 60 minutes which translates to 60*60 = 3600 seconds. At 3 ticks per second, there will be 3*3600 = 10,800 ticks during this duration.
From 1:00pm to 1:15pm, there are 15 minutes which translates to 15*60 = 900 seconds. At 3 ticks per second, there will be 3*900 = 2700 ticks during this duration.
So, the total number of ticks between 11:55am and 1:15pm is 900 + 10,800 + 2700 = 15,400 ticks.
A clock clicks 3 time to a seconds find the number of ticks it makes between 11:55am and 1:15pm
