1. An accurate clock show 8 O'clock in the morning. Since then , how many degrees will the hour-hand rotate when clock shows 2 O, clock in the afternoon?
- A. 90 degree
- B. 90 degree
- C. 90 degree
- D. 90 degree
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
An accurate clock has 12 hours on its face, and the hour hand completes one full rotation (360 degrees) in 12 hours.
From 8 o'clock in the morning to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, there are 6 hours.
To find how many degrees the hour hand will rotate in 6 hours, you can use the following formula:
Degrees rotated = (Hours elapsed / Total hours on the clock) * 360 degrees
Degrees rotated = (6 hours / 12 hours) * 360 degrees
Degrees rotated = (1/2) * 360 degrees
Degrees rotated = 180 degrees
So, the hour hand will rotate 180 degrees from 8 o'clock in the morning to 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
