Question

Phillip watched a beach volleyball game from 1 P.M. to 1:20P.M. How many degrees did the minute hand turn?

Answer 1

Answer:

The minute hand covered 120 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Minute hand completes 1 round in 60 minutes

1 round =$360^{\circ}$

So, The minute hand covered degrees in 60 minutes = $360^{\circ}$

The minute hand covered degrees in 1 minute $= \frac{360^{\circ}}{60^{\circ}}$

Phillip watched a beach volleyball game from 1 P.M. to 1:20P.M.

So, He watched it for 20 minutes

So,The minute hand covered degrees in 20 minutes =$\frac{360^{\circ}}{60^{\circ}} \times 20 =120^{\circ}$

Hence The minute hand covered 120 degrees
