How do you know that the hour hand move a half degrees in a minute?

There are 12 hours in a full circuit of the clock face, so the hour hand moves 1/12 of a full circle every hour.
There are 60 minutes in an hour, therefore the hour hand moves 1/60 of the amount it moves in 1 hour, ie:
1/60 × 1/12 × 360° = 0.5°

∙ 6y agoIn 60 minutes, the hour hand moves 1/12 of a circle (360 deg) = 30 degrees. So in each minute it moves 30/60 = 0.5 degrees.

How many degrees does the minute hand turn through in half an hour?
180 degrees.
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.
How many degrees does the minute hand of a clock turn in half an hour?
Since an analog clock covers 360 degrees in a full hour, it covers 180 in half an hour because 180 - 0.5*360.
How many degrees does a hand clock move in an hour?
Hour hand moves 30 degrees, minute hand moves 360 degrees.
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
How many degrees does the minute hand turn through in half an hour?
180 degrees.

What is the angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock at half past two?
If we simply imagine the minute hand is on the 6, and the hour hand is on the two, there will be a total of 120 degrees between the minute and the hour hand, 1/3 of the clock is covered between the two hands. However, it is not that simple. Because 30 minutes has travelled, the hour hand will be half way between the 2 and the 3. We know that every hour, the hour hand moves 30 degrees (360 / 12 hours = 30). Therefore, in 30 minutes, it will have travelled 15 degrees. Which means the hour hand is 15 degrees closer to the minute hand. Therefore, the actual angle between the minute and hour hand is actually 105 degrees.
The hour hand on a clock moves one half of a degree every minute how many degrees will the hand move in one hour?
the hour hand moves 30 degrees in every hour, the minute hand moves 6 degrees each minute Clocks hand moves 1/60 of a degree every minute1 hour = 60 minutes60 * 1/60 = 1The clocks hand move 1 degree an hour
When looking at a standard clock at the time 6.30 what is the angle in nearest degrees created by the minute hand and the hour hand?
At 6:30, the hour hand is at 195 degrees, the minute hand is at 180 degrees, the second hand would be at 0 degrees. The hour and minute hands would also be 15 degrees apart.
How many degrees does the minute hand of a clock turn in 1 hour?
The minute hand of a clock turns about 360 degrees each hour.
How many degrees does the minute hand of a clock turn in half an hour?
Since an analog clock covers 360 degrees in a full hour, it covers 180 in half an hour because 180 - 0.5*360.
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.
How many degrees does a hand clock move in an hour?
Hour hand moves 30 degrees, minute hand moves 360 degrees.
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
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.
What angle is gained by minute hand over the hour hand in one minute?
5.75 degrees.
