It should be 12 times if you assume that the hour & minute hand line up exactly on top of each other, which would make an angle of zero. Which in a 12 hour period would occur at following times:

Noon or Midnight

1:05

2:10

3:15

4:20

5:25

6:30

7:35

8:40

9:45

10:50

11:55

What is the angle between the two hands of a clock when the time is 3 hours 40 minutes 20 seconds?

This problem can be solved as follows: The angle Ah of the hour hand of a clock, measured from the position at noon or midnight when the hour and minute hands exactly coincide, is Ah = (360 degrees/12 hours)th, where th is the time in hours, including fractions of hours, because the hour hand moves the entire 360 degrees around the clock in 12 hours. Similarly, the angle Am of the minute hand = (360 degrees/60 minutes)tm, where tm is the time in minutes only, including fractions of minutes. The stated time is 3 + 40/60 + 20/3600 hours = 3.672222... hours and the angle is therefore about 110. 11666666... degrees, using the formula above. The time in minutes only is 40 + 20/60 = 40.33333...., so that the angle of the minute hand is 242 degrees. The difference between them is therefore about 131.833..... degrees, or in fraction form 131 and 5/6.


What is the measure of the angle formed by a clock when it is 7?

When it is 7:00, the hour hand and minute hand of a 12-hour clock form a 150° angle.


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.


How angle described by minute hand in 60 minute?

In 60 minutes, the minute hand completely circumnavigates the face of the clock,and returns to where it was 60 minutes earlier. That's a travel of 360 degrees.


What is the angle at which the minute hand of a clock rotates over a period of twelve minutes?

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.

How many times do the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock make an angle of 90 degree in a day?

44 times. Starting at 12 o'clock, over the next 12 hours, the hour hand will make a 90o angle to the right (like quarter past) 11 times and 90o angle to the left (like quarter to) making a total of 22 times per 12 hours, or 44 per 24 hours aka 1 day.


How many times a day does the hands of a clock form a straight angle?

Eight times in a day the hands of a clock form straight angle. At first they form straight angle when the hour amd minute hand are on 3 and 9 in noon and night. Second, when the hour amd minute hand are on 9 and 3 in morning and night. Third when the hour amd minute hand are on 12 and 6 At last when the hour amd minute hand are on 6 and 12.

How many hours are there when the hands of the clock form an acute angle?

An acute angle is any angle that is between 0° and 90°.At the exact hour mark, the minute hand is always at the 12.And so, the hours where the clock form an acute angle are:1 o'clock2 o'clock10 o'clock11 o'clockThus, there are 4 hours.
