If the little hand is on the 1 and the big hand is on the 6 what time is it?
1:30 Wrong. The "LITTLE" hand indicates the minute of the hour and the"BIG" hand indicates the hour of the day (or at least half day - AM/PM). The minute hand is the LITTLE hand because it represents the smaller unit of time when compared to an hour which is indicated by the BIG hand. Granted, the longer hand is longer than the shorter hand but it is was historically always thinner than the hour hand. Thinner = LITTLE And the hour hand was always shorter but fatter than the minute hand. Fatter = BIG The reason they were originally called "BIG" and "LITTLE" was based on the amount of time each represents. Hour is 60 times bigger than minute. Hour is BIG and minute is LITTLE. Hour hand is BIG HAND and minute hand is LITTLE HAND. End of story
How many degrees does the hour hand turn in 7 hours?
210
What fraction of an hour is 7 minutes?
To determine the fraction of an hour that 7 minutes represents, first convert 7 minutes to hours by dividing by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour). This gives you 7/60 hours. To simplify this fraction, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 1. Therefore, the fraction of an hour that 7 minutes represents is 7/60 hours.
How long does it take for the hour hand to go around the clock?
12 hours
What length of time passes when the hour hand moves ina quarter turn?
On a normal, 12-hour clock, that takes 3 hours. On a military, 24-hour clock, it takes 6 hours.
How many degrees does the hour hand of the clock turn in 12 hours?
The hour hand of a clock completes one full rotation, or 360 degrees, in 12 hours. This means that the hour hand turns 30 degrees per hour. So, in 12 hours, the hour hand will turn a total of 360 degrees.
What is the angle created by the hour and minute hand if the time was 630?
15 degrees (a 15 degree angle). The minute hand points directly to the 6 (marking an exact half hour); the hour hand is exactly half way between the 6 and 7, marking 6.5 hours exactly. Each full hour (usually marked on clock by a number) represents 30 degrees (1/12 of 360); each half hour represents 1/2 of that or 15 degrees.
How many degree will the hour hand of a wall clock move from 9pm and 3am?
180 degrees.
What time is it when the big hand is on the 6 and the little hand is on the7?
When the big hand is on the 6 and the little hand is on the 7, it is 6:35. The big hand represents minutes, and the little hand represents hours. The big hand is on the 6, indicating 30 minutes, and it has moved an additional 5 minutes past the 6, making it 35 minutes past the hour. The little hand is on the 7, indicating 7 o'clock.
How many degrees does the hour hand move in one half of an hour?
It takes twelve hours for the hour hand to move 360 degrees In half an hour the hour hand moves 15 degrees
A rotation equals how many hours and min?
One full rotation of the hour hand is 12 hours. One full rotation of the minute hand is an hour
What is the angular speed of hour hand?
The angular speed of the hour hand is 30 degrees per hour because the hour hand completes a full rotation of 360 degrees in 12 hours. Therefore, 360 degrees divided by 12 hours is equal to 30 degrees per hour.
How many times does the hour hand and minute hand cross in 12 hour period of time?
The minute hand will cross over the hour hand once every hour. So in 12 hours, the answer is 12 times.

How long does it take for the hour and minute hands to go from 12 to 12?
It takes the minute hand one hour to do this, and it takes the hour hand twelve hours to do it.
How long does it take the hour hand to move to 6 degrees?
The hour hand moves 360 degrees in 12 hours so 6 degrees takes 0.2 hours = 12 minutes.
Why does it take the hour hand on a clock 2 minutes to move 1 degree?
In 12 hours, the hour hand makes 1 complete revolution, or 360o Therefore the hour hand takes 12 hours ÷ 360 to move 1o. 1 hour = 60 minutes ⇒ 12 hours ÷ 360 = 12 x 60 minutes ÷ 360 = 2 minutes. Thus the hour hand takes 2 minutes to move 1 degree.
