How many degrees does a clock make an minute?
The minute hand passes through 360 degrees in an hour and 6 degrees in a minute
How many degrees has the minute hand moved through in 1 over 6 of half a rotation?
1/6 of half a rotation = 1/12 of a rotation = 1/12 of 360 degrees = 360/12 = 30 degrees.
Looking at a standard wall clock at the time 6 30 what is the angle in nearest degrees created by the minute hand and the hour hand?
The angle between the hour hand and the minute hand on a standard clock at 6:30 is 15 degrees. Let's review the movement of the hands of the clock specific to this problem. The hour hand moves through the 12 hours of half a day in 12 hours (naturally), and that translates into the hour hand moving 360 degrees in 12 hours. That means the hour hand moves 360/12, or 30 degrees per hour. That translates into 15 degrees in half an hour. If the hour hand is pointing straight down at 6:00 (which it is), it will move 15 degrees from where it was in half and hour. And the time will be 6:30 with the minute hand pointing straight down. The minute hand will be pointing to where the hour hand was half an hour ago. And, as stated, the hour hand will have moved from dead on the six and gone 15 degrees further around.
How many degrees does the hour hand pass through between 1200 pm and 230 pm?
From 12pm to 2:30pm, the hour hand goes 75 degrees. It is the minute hand that goes through 795 degrees.
How many degrees does the minute hand move in 1 minute?
6 degrees
How many degrees does a clock make an minute?
The minute hand passes through 360 degrees in an hour and 6 degrees in a minute
How many degrees does the minute hand on a clock travel when it moves through one minute?
6 degrees.
How many degrees has the minute hand moved through in 1 over 6 of half a rotation?
1/6 of half a rotation = 1/12 of a rotation = 1/12 of 360 degrees = 360/12 = 30 degrees.
How many degrees does the minute hand turn through in a quarter of an hour?
90 degrees
How many degrees will the minute hand of a clock rotate through in 8 hours?
2880 degrees 1) One rotation of the minute hand is 360 degrees. 2) One rotation is completed in 1 hour. 3) So in 8 hours the minute hand will go through 8 x 360 degrees = 2880

How many degrees does the minute hand on a clock move in 1 hour?
It moves through 360 degrees
What is the angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock at half past two?
If we simply imagine the minute hand is on the 6, and the hour hand is on the two, there will be a total of 120 degrees between the minute and the hour hand, 1/3 of the clock is covered between the two hands. However, it is not that simple. Because 30 minutes has travelled, the hour hand will be half way between the 2 and the 3. We know that every hour, the hour hand moves 30 degrees (360 / 12 hours = 30). Therefore, in 30 minutes, it will have travelled 15 degrees. Which means the hour hand is 15 degrees closer to the minute hand. Therefore, the actual angle between the minute and hour hand is actually 105 degrees.
Through how many degrees does the minute hand of a clock turn in 10 minutes?
50
How many degrees does the minute hand move in 1 minute?
6 degrees
How long does it take the minute hand to move to 6 degrees?
The minute hand moves 360 degrees in 60 minutes so 6 degrees takes 1 minute.
