How many degrees does the minute hand of the clock turn in one minute? How many degrees does the hour hand turn in one minute?

How many degrees does the minute hand of the clock turn in one minute? How many degrees does the hour hand turn in one minute?


The minute hand of the clock turns 360 degrees in an hour, so it turns 360 / 60 = 6 degrees in a minute. The hour hand turns 30 degrees in an hour, so it turns 30 / 60 = 0.5 degrees in a minute



How many degrees does the clock turn from 2:15 p.m. to 5:30 p.m


Hour hand: degrees / hour = 360 / 12 = 30 degrees / hour
Deg / min = 30 / 60 = 0.5 deg / min
From 2:15 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., the walking time is 5:30 - 2:15 = 3:15, 3 hours and 15 minutes
Clockwise rotation angle = 2x30 + 15x0.5 = 90 + 7.5 = 97.5 degrees
Results: from 2:15 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., the clock turned 97.5 degrees
