- The following problem is from both the 2009 AMC 10B #19 and 2009 AMC 12B #10, so both problems redirect to this page.
Problem
A particular -hour digital clock displays the hour and minute of a day. Unfortunately, whenever it is supposed to display a , it mistakenly displays a . For example, when it is 1:16 PM the clock incorrectly shows 9:96 PM. What fraction of the day will the clock show the correct time?
Solution
Solution 1
The clock will display the incorrect time for the entire hours of and . So the correct hour is displayed of the time. The minutes will not display correctly whenever either the tens digit or the ones digit is a , so the minutes that will not display correctly are and and . This amounts to fifteen of the sixty possible minutes for any given hour. Hence the fraction of the day that the clock shows the correct time is . The answer is .
Solution 2
The required fraction is the number of correct times divided by the total times. There are 60 minutes in an hour and 12 hours on a clock, so there are 720 total times.
We count the correct times directly; let a correct time be , where is a number from 1 to 12 and and are digits, where . There are 8 values of that will display the correct time: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. There are five values of that will display the correct time: 0, 2, 3, 4, and 5. There are nine values of that will display the correct time: 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Therefore there are correct times.
Therefore the required fraction is .
