Answer:

your Answer !!

Step-by-step explanation:

The hands of a clock coincide 11 times in every 12 hours (Since between 11 and 1, they coincide only once, i.e., at 12 o'clock). The hands overlap about every 65 minutes, not every 60 minutes. Thus the minute hand and the hour hand coincide 22 times in a day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let me think about this for a moment. I want to say 24, but I feel like the answer is more complex than that. Let's see…the hands overlap exactly at noon and midnight, so that's two right there. They're not exact, but the hands would also overlap near 1:05, 2:10, 3:15, 4:20, 5:25, 6:30, 7:35, 8:40, 9:45, 10:50 and 11:55 twice each day. Actually, you know what, the hands wouldn't overlap at 11:55 since the hour hand is slowly moving toward 12. That means the hands overlap 22 times a day.
