Question

How many degrees does a minute hand of a clock turn through from 6:20 am to8:00 am on the same day ? A. 680 degrees B. 600 degrees C. 540 degrees D. 420 degrees

Please give explanation, please

Answer 1

B 600

Explanation:

A clock is a circle with 12 equal sectors. A circle has 360 degrees so every time a minute hand number goes to another number it changes 30 degrees. After a full hour the time is 7 20 and it changes 360 degrees since the minute hand change over time was 12. 30x12=360.

Then it from 7 :20 and 8 00 the change 8 so is 30×8=240

360+240=600
