Answer:
Between 3 P.M. and 3:30 P.M the hour hand moves 15°.
Explanation:
The rotation of the minute hand of a clock between 3 P.M. and 3:30 P.M. is from the the 12 hour mark to the 6 hour mark which is half of one complete cycle
One complete cycle of clock rotation = 360° = 12 hours
Therefore, the hour hand rotates 360/12 = 30° for each hour
Given that the time between 3 P.M. and 3:30 P.M. is 30 minutes = 1/2 an hour
The rotation of the hour hand between 3 P.M. and 3:30 P.M = Half the rotation for 1 hour
∴ The rotation of the hour hand between 3 P.M. and 3:30 P.M = 30°/2 = 15°
Between 3 P.M. and 3:30 P.M the hour hand moves 15°.
