What time is when the minute hand is pointing to the 3 and the hour hand is a little past 3?
ew
What else can I help you with?
What time is it when the hour hand and the minute hand are both pointing to the same number?
12:00! It depends what number they are both pointing to.
If the minute hand is pointing to the twelve and the hour hand is perpendicular to the minute hand what two times could it be?
It could be four times per day: 9 AM, 9 PM, 3 AM, and 3 PM. Note: The question as stated is false and would likely cause controversy if it was on an important exam. The question should be "If the minute hand is pointing to the twelve and the hour hand is perpendicular to the minute hand, what times could it be?"
What angle is formed by the hand of the clock at 420?
10°, on a standard 12-hour clock. The minute hand is pointing at the 4, but the hour hand has advanced by 1/3 of an hour, which is 1/36 of a full circle, or 10°.
What is the angle when time is 11.20?
At 11:20 the hour hand is pointing to 1/3 of an hour after 11, which is 20 degrees before 12. The minute hand is pointing at 120 degrees after 12. So the angle between the two is 120+20 = 140 degrees.
Looking at a standard wall clock at the time 630 what is the anglein nearest degrees created by the minute hand and the hour hand?
The hour hand would be at 195 degrees and the minute hand at 180 degrees.
What time is it when the hour hand is little past the 3 and the minute hand is pointing to the 3?
3:15
If the hour hand on the clock is pointing in the middle of 5 and 6 and the minute hand is pointing at 4 then what time does the clock show?
the answer is 5:20
If the hour hand is on the 3 and the minute hand is on the 3 what time is it?
Oh, dude, it's 3:15. The hour hand is on the 3, which means it's pointing at the 3 and the minute hand is on the 3, which is pointing at the 3rd minute. So, it's like 3:15, easy peasy.
What did the hour hand say to the minute hand?
see you in an hour. Of course it takes more than an hour for the hour hand (the "BIG" hand) and the minute hand (the "LITTLE" hand) to line up but it does happen once each hour. Keep in mind, the hour hand is known as the BIG hand because an hour is bigger than a minute, which is indicated by the LITTLE hand.
What time is it when the hour hand and the minute hand are both pointing to the same number?
12:00! It depends what number they are both pointing to.

If the little hand is on the 1 and the big hand is on the 6 what time is it?
If the little hand is on the 1 and the big hand is on the 6, it is 1:30. The little hand represents the hour, which is between 1 and 2, and the big hand represents the minutes, which is at the 6, indicating 30 minutes past the hour.
Which hand on a clock is the hour hand?
The short one Yes, the hour hand is traditionally shorter than the minute hand. However, the hour hand is known as the BIG hand because an hour is bigger than a minute. That means the minute hand is known as the LITTLE hand since a minute is LITTLE when compared to an hour. This is the historical explanation of the labels for the two hands, based on function an expressed in form by the hour hand having a broader, albeit shorter, design than the minute hand which is longer but narrower. Hour = bigger than minute = the BIG hand Minute = smaller than hour = the LITTLE hand
Is the little hand on a clock the hour hand or minute hand?
The LITTLE hand is the minute hand. Little does not mean short, it means thin. The longer hand is the LITTLE hand. The BIG hand is the hour hand. Big does not mean long, it means fat, wider. The BIG hand is the hour hand because it denotes the larger unit of time measure. An hour is 60 times larger than a minute. So then, the LITTLE hand denotes the smaller unit of time, a minute. Somewhere along the way some not-too-bright primary school teacher didn't get it right and passed it along incorrectly and lots of people since then have totally missed the connection between BIG=HOUR and LITTLE=MINUTE.
Show 25 minutes past 11 on the clock?
The little hand is on the 11 and the big hand is on the 5.
What is the big hand on the clock called?
The long hand is called the minute hand, the shorter fat one is called the hour hand. Based on historical design the BIG hand is the hour hand because an hour is bigger than a minute. Function first, then form. Traditionally clocks had fatter hands for hour and thinner hands for minute, thus BIG is hour and LITTLE is minute. Yes the minute hand is usually longer than the hour hand but on most clocks the hour hand is larger not just shorter. Don't confuse long, big, little, and short.
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.
