Question

How many degrees does the minute hand of a clock turn in 20 minutes?

Answer 1

The minute hand of a clock completes a full circle (360 degrees) in 60 minutes. Therefore, in 1 minute, it turns 360/60 = 6 degrees.

In 20 minutes, the minute hand will turn 6 x 20 = 120 degrees.

So the minute hand of a clock will turn 120 degrees in 20 minutes.
