Question

B) The hour hand on the clock below

is pointing to the number 4.
What number will the hour hand be
pointing to 41 hours later?

Answer 1

The hour hand pointing to the number 4 on a clock will point to number 9 after 41 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating the Hour Hand Position After 41 Hours

To determine what number the hour hand will point to 41 hours later starting from number 4 on the clock, we can consider the clock's cycle and the number of complete revolutions made by the hour hand in that time. Since there are 12 hours on a clock face, and the hour hand completes one full revolution every 12 hours, we'll calculate how many full cycles and additional hours occur in 41 hours.

Firstly, divide 41 hours by the duration of a full cycle (12 hours):
41 hours ÷ 12 hours/cycle = 3 cycles with a remainder of 5 hours.
After completing 3 full cycles, which doesn’t affect the starting position, the hour hand will have moved an additional 5 hours ahead of number 4. Counting 5 numbers ahead from 4 (i.e., 5, 6, 7, 8, 9), we find that the hour hand will point to number 9.
