A clock that goes back a minute is better than one that does not work at all because the former can still tell time if well timed.

What is the angle between the 2 hands of a clock when the time is 6 o clock?

180 degrees. The hands are a straight line. Or, to be technical, you divide the clock face (360 degrees) by the number of minutes there are in half a day (clocks only record half a day: AM or PM), which is 360/12*60, so each minute is half a degree. There are 360 minutes between the twelve and the six on a clock. Half of 360 is 180. This only works for times ON THE HOUR, otherwise, the hour hand moves for every minute of time passing.


How do you read an analog clock?

An analog clock has at least two hands, one shorter than the other; the short one is the hour hand, the long one is the minute hand. (There can also be a second hand which is a minor detail.) The numbers one to twelve appear at regular intervals around the edge, with twelve being at the top, which then goes to one at the immediate right of the twelve, and proceeds in order as you go in a clockwise direction around the edge, all the way to eleven, and then back to twelve. The hour hand points directly at the number corresponding to the hour (that is, if it is exactly two o'clock, the hour hand points directly at the number two) and it moves gradually to the next number as time passes; at two thirty it is halfway between the two and the three. The minute hand points to the twelve when it is an exact hour such as two o'clock, and then moves around the face of the clock pointing to the number of minutes past the hour; at forty minutes past two (for example) the minute hand points to the number 8 (each of the twelve numbers counts off a five minute interval, which works out because there are sixty minutes in an hour, and 5 times 12 is 60). To read a analog clock, one must look at several things. First, look at the shortest "hand" on the clock. The number that it is on, or the last number that it has past, is the hour it is at that moment. Each number represents a span of 5 minutes for the minute hand. Look where the longer hand is, and that is what minute it is in the hour.

That works out to 42 words per minute.


If you walk 10 meters in 3.09 seconds how far will you walk in 30 seconds?

It works like this:10 meters / 3.09 seconds * 30 seconds / half minute = 97.09 meters / half-minute


Angle between the hands of a clock when it is 915?

The angle between the hands of a clock when it is 9:15 is a bit more than 180 degrees. Depending on how the clock works, t might be 185 degrees or so (175 if you look at the opposite angle.
