An accurate clock shows 8 o'clock in the morning. Through how may degrees will the hour hand rotate when the clock shows 2 o'clock in the afternoon?
A.150º
B.175º
C.180º
D.168º

Answer 1

180

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The small hand of the clock, at 8:00 am has covered 2/3 of the clock's face. That leaves 1/3 to go to 12 noon.

1/3 * 360 = 120

To get to 2 oclock, you need to go 1/6 of the way.

1/6 * 360 = 60

Total 180.

Treat this answer with care. It may not be correct. There may be an offset on the clock's face.
