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.

60 minutes = one whole circle = 360 degrees.

That is, 1 minute = 360/60 = 6 degrees

So 10 minutes = 10*6 = 60 degrees.
