A clock shows 6:35. Through how many degrees will the hour hand turn by the time the clock shows 9:05?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 75°
The hour hand goes once round (360°) in 12 hours, so it turns 30° in an hour, that is 0.5° in a minute.
Time from 6:35 to 9:05 \(=2\) hours 30 minutes \(=150\) minutes
Turn of the hour hand \(=150\times0.5^\circ=75^\circ\)
