Clock Word Problems: Problem 2

Problem: Bob's alarm clock is 3 minutes quicker per hour than the normal alarm clock. One night at eleven o' clock, Bob sets his alarm clock to the actual time, and also sets for it to ring by the time it reaches six in the morning that next day. When Bob's alarm clock rings, what will be the actual time that morning?

Key: This is another example of a 'broken clock'. Bob's alarm clock's speed is different than the accurate clock's speed. Use ratios.
