How many degrees does the minute hand move in 15 minutes?

Answer 1

It moves 90 degrees because it forms a right angle with its previous position.

Answer 2

The minute hand on a clock moves 360 degrees in a full hour, which is equivalent to 60 minutes. Therefore, in 15 minutes, the minute hand would move 1/4 (15/60) of the full 360 degrees. This means the minute hand would move 90 degrees in 15 minutes.

Answer 3

7.5 degrees. For every full rotation the minute hand makes, the hour hand moves 30 degrees. One quarter of 30 is 7.5.
