Answer 1

Answer:

The hand moved $\bf \frac{3}{4}$ of a complete turn.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hand moved from 3 to 12, that is, it moved:

12 - 3 = 9 hours

In a clock, 12 hours represent a complete turn.

∴ Using the unitary method:

12 hours    ⇒     1 turn

1 hour        ⇒     $\frac{1}{12}$ turns

9 hours     ⇒     $\frac{1}{12}$  × 9 = $\frac{9}{12}$

                                     = $\bf \frac{3}{4}$ turns    (simplified)

∴ The hand moved $\bf \frac{3}{4}$ of a complete turn.

Answer 2

The answer is  $\boxed{\frac{3}{4}}$.

To find the fraction of a complete turn it moved in this case, take the ratio between hours covered between 3 and 12, and the hours covered in a complete turn.

• Hours covered between 3 and 12 : 12 - 3 = 9
• Hours covered in a complete turn = 12
• Fraction of a complete turn it moved : 9/12 = 3/4
