Question

The minute hand of a watch moves 360° in an hour. By how much degree
will it move in 24 minutes?​

Answer 1

In other words, the minute hand "overtakes" the hour hand on 44 occasions in 24 hours in order to give a 90 degree angle. Therefore the answer to your question is 44. Each hour has 2 occurrences of 90 degrees. In 12 hrs, it overtakes 24 times

Answer 2

Answer:

The minute hand of a watch moves 144° in 24 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the minute hand of a watch moves 360° in an hour.

To find:-

The measure of the minute hand in 24 minutes.

Step 1 of 1

1 hour = 60 minutes

Since the minute hand of a watch moves in an hour = 360°

This implies the minute hand moves in 60 minutes = 360°

So, the minute hand moves in 1 minute = 360°/60

                                                                   = 6°

Now,

The minute hand of a watch moves in 24 minutes is,

= 24 × the minute hand moves in 1 minute

= 24 × 6°

= 144°

Therefore, the minute hand of a watch moves 144° in 24 minutes.
