How many minutes before 12 noon if 44 minutes ago it was 3 times as many minutes past 9am?
Well, isn't that a happy little puzzle! Let's see, if it was 44 minutes ago that it was 3 times as many minutes past 9 am, that means it was 11 am at that time. So, we are 60 minutes away from 12 noon, and if we subtract the 44 minutes, we have 16 minutes left before 12 noon. Just enough time to paint a beautiful little landscape!
Let's denote the number of minutes before 12 noon as x. 44 minutes ago, the time was x + 44 minutes before 12 noon. At that time, it was also x + 44 minutes past 9 am. According to the given condition, x + 44 = 3(9am + x), where x is the number of minutes before 12 noon. By solving this equation, we find that x = 88 minutes before 12 noon.

How many minutes before 12 noon is it if one hour ago it was three times as many minutes after 8 am?
Between 8 am and Noon are 4 hours = 240 minutes. Let T = 240 - x, and T - 60 = 3*x. Where T is right now, T-60 is one hour ago, and x is the number of minutes before noon, and 3*x is the number of minutes after 8am. Substitute the first equation into the second & solve for x: 240 - x - 60 = 3*x --> 180 = 4*x --> x = 45, So it is 45 minutes before noon (11:15), and 1 hour ago (10:15) it was 2 hrs 15 minutes after 8 am (135 minutes), and yes 135 is 3 times 45, so it works.
