how many degrees does the minute hand turn through in one hour
There are 360 degrees on the clock face that the minute hand travels in one hour which is 6 x 10 minutes. So the degrees turned by the minute hand in 10 minutes is 360/6 = 60
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.
150 To help you remember: every 5 mins on the clock moves 30 degrees. so if the hand is on the 5... 5x30=150
The hour hand would be at 195 degrees and the minute hand at 180 degrees.
12 minutes is 1/5th of an hour. The minute hand sweeps 360 degrees - a full circle - in one hour. So the angle formed by the start and stop of a 12-minute sweep of the minute hand would be 1/5th of 360 degrees or 72 degrees.
240 degrees
720. in 60 minutes, the hour hand on a clock turns a complete circle, or 360 degrees. since 120 minutes is 2 hours, the hour hand would make 2 complete turns, which is 360 degrees twice, which is 720 degrees.

On a normal 12-hour clock, the hour hand moves 360° in 12 hours, 360° in 720 minutes, or ½° every minute, not 1/60°. In one hour, 60 minutes, a normal 12-hour clock's hour hand will move 30°.
9600 degrees an hour. Formula:degrees per min * minutes in an hour.
In fifteen minutes the minute hand of a clock will move 90 degrees, or three hour labels.
On an ordinary clock, with 12 hours on the face, the hour hand rotates360 degrees in 12 hours30 degrees in 1 hour = 60 minutes1/2 degree per minute5 degrees in 10 minutes
The minute hand of a clock turns about 360 degrees each hour.
Hour hand moves 30 degrees, minute hand moves 360 degrees.
The angular speed of the minute hand on a clock is 360 degrees/60 minutes = 6 degrees per minute.
The minute hand moves 360 degrees in one hour = in 60 minutes = 6 degrees per minute.(50/60) x 360 = 300 degrees
In 10 minutes, the hour hand moves 1/6th of the way between two hour markers on the clock face, as there are 60 minutes in an hour. Since there are 360 degrees in a full circle, the angle described by the hour hand in 10 minutes is 1/6 * 360 = 60 degrees. This means the hour hand moves 6 degrees for every minute that passes.
