Question

What does the angle made by the hour hand of the clock look like when it moves from 5 to 7. Is the angle moved more than 1 right angle?

Answer 1

Answer:

The clock is formed by the numbers 1–12 spaced equally along the circumference of a circle. Since a circle consists of 360 degrees from the center, each number is space 112⋅360=30 degrees from each other. Thus, for the hour hand to move from 5 to 7, it moves a total of (7−5)⋅30=2⋅30=60 degrees.
