If the minute turned 90 degrees by the time recess ended, the time recess ended is 12.15.

What time did recess end?

A clock has is in the shape of a circle. Thus, the sum of angles in a circle is 360 degrees. Also, there are 60 minutes in an hour.

Total minutes moved = (degree moved / total degree in a circle) x 60minutes

(90 /360) x 60 = 15 minutes

Time recess ended = 12 : 00 + 15 minutes = 12 : 15
