    Days in a year = 365

    clock loses one minute each year, so - 365minutes.

    An hour is 60 minutes so 365/60 is 6 hours and 5 minutes.

    In one year the clock would be 6 hours and 5 minutes too slow.

    To find how slow it would be in two years, multiply 365 by 2. (Or multiply 6 hours and 5 minutes by 2)

    365 x 2 = 730 minutes

    (6:05 x 2 = 12:10.)

    in two years, the clock will be 12 hours and 10 minutes too slow.
