An accurate clock shows 8 o'clock in the morning. Through how may degrees will the hour hand rotate when the clock shows 2 o'clock in the afternoon?
- A.
144º
- B.
180º
- C.
150º
- D.
90º
Correct Answer
B. 180ºExplanation
The hour hand of a clock completes a full rotation of 360 degrees in 12 hours. From 8 o'clock in the morning to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, 6 hours have passed. Therefore, the hour hand will rotate 6/12 or 1/2 of a full rotation. Since a full rotation is 360 degrees, half of that is 180 degrees. So, the hour hand will rotate 180 degrees.Rate this question:
