Question

How many times does the hour-hand go around the clock face in one day?

Answer 1

It goes 24 times in a day .

Answer 2

An hour hand goes 24 rounds of the clock face in one day.

• The hour hand has to complete one rotation of the clock face to finish one hour.
• In a day we have 24 hours.
• This means that for each hour the hour hand has to go around the clock face, thus making 24 rounds each day.

Therefore the hour hand goes 24 times around the clock face in a day.
