An accurate clock shows 8 o'clock in the morning. Through how may degrees will the hour hand rotate when the clock shows 2 o'clock in the afternoon? Type your answer below!

Answer 1

The hour hand at 8 o’clock in the morning is at 240 degrees measured from 12. At 2 o’clock in the afternoon the hour hand will be at 60 degrees (or 420 degrees because it has to cross 12). So the hour hand has rotated through 420–240 = 180 degrees.

Answer 2

the hour hand at 8 is 240 degree measure from 12

at two clock it will be at 60 degree. so hour hand is rotated 420-240 =180
