A clock gains 2 minutes every hour. If it is set correctly at 12 noon on Monday, what time will it show when the actual time is 12 noon on Tuesday?

Using the uniform gain formula, we calculate the total actual hours elapsed from Monday 12 noon to Tuesday 12 noon, which equals 24 hours. Because the clock gains 2 minutes every hour, we multiply the 2-minute gain by the 24 elapsed hours to get a total gain of 48 minutes. Adding this 48-minute gain to the actual time of 12 noon results in the clock showing 12:48 PM.
