Answer:
1152 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
It doesn’t mention that it has AM or PM, so we’re assuming that it’s just the same time, regardless if the clocks actually shows the wrong time in am/pm-wise.
So, if it gains 5 minutes every 8 hours, we have to make see how many 5-minutes that we need to make 12 hours. 12 hours is equal to 720 minutes, so 720/5=144. Since it asks how many hours we need for it to become the same time again, we need to add the fact that it only adds 5 minutes every 8 hours. Henceforth, we need to multiply our answer (144) by 8 hours. 144*8=1152. Your answer is 1152 hours.
(If you saw this answer before, it was here before, only worded a little bit differently. The admins deleted the response, with this explanation:

I was a little confused, because for me it’s wasn’t really incorrect OR incomplete, but I’m going to repost with different wordings. I just want to help people. Hopefully this time my answer doesn’t get deleted.)
Hope this helps you!
