Question

In 24 minutes, the hour hand of a clock moves through what angle?

Answer 1

║⊕ANSWER⊕║

We are to find the measurement of angle through which the hour hand of a clock moves in 24 minutes.

In 60 minutes, the hour hand hand of a clock moves through an angle of

$\frac{360}{12} = 30$

In 1 minute, the hour hand of a clock moves through an angle of

$\frac{30}{60} = \frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, in 24 minutes, the hour hand of a clock moves through an angle of

$\frac{1}{2} * 24 = 12$
