Question

To the nearest minute, at what time will the hour hand and minute hand be in the same position between 8 and 9 o'clock?

Answer 1

8:40

Explanation:

For the hour hand and the minute hand to be at the same position between 8 and 9 o'clock, then the two of the hands must be at either the 8 hour mark or the 9 hour mark.

If the hour and the minute hand is at point 9, then the time would be 9:45 which is not between 8 and 9 o'clock. But, if the the hour and the minute hand is at point 8, then the time would be 8:40 which is between 8 and 9 o'clock.
