Question

If the hour hand of a clock is turned anticlockwise from 2 pm to 9 am, through how many degrees will it have turned?

Answer 1

Hello. Every hour of a clock divides the circle into 30 degree increments.

Since there are 5 hours from 2PM to 9AM when turning counterclockwise, 5 * 30 = 150 degrees

Answer 2

Answer:

If the hour hand turned anticlockwise from 2 pm to 9 am

( Full rotation is equal to 360°. So, 1 hr= 360/12= 30°)

Anticlockwise 2 pm to 9 am, it's 5 times turned

5×30°=150°

So, the degree from. 2pm to 9 am is 150°
