Answer

My answer is wright

Answer

Explanation:
The face of the clock is divided into three parts: the first part, the second part, and the third part. The first part represents the hours on the clock.

Given Information:
- Total hours in the first part = Total hours in the second part + Total hours in the third part

Let's solve the problem step by step:

Step 1: Assume that the total hours in the first part is x.

Step 2: Let's say the total hours in the second part is y and the total hours in the third part is z.

Step 3: According to the given information:
x = y + z

Step 4: Since there are 12 hours on a clock face, we have:
x + y + z = 12

Step 5: Substitute the value of x from Step 3 into Step 4:
y + z + y + z = 12
2y + 2z = 12
y + z = 6

Step 6: Therefore, the total hours in the bigger part (the first part) is 6.
So, the total hours in the bigger part (first part) of the clock face is 6.

Answer

the clock normally has 12 hr

three parts x,y,z

x+y+z=12

x=y+z

2x=12

x=6

so the largest part is 6 hrs
