Question

campbell_st · Answer

on a clock each minute = 6 degrees.... but is the hour hand still on 1o'clock or has it moved to some point between 1 and 2...? 

In real life the hour hand would have moved...

@SAMMY, you actually posted this kind of problem, yesterday. . am i right?

anonymous · Answer

yes.but it's little different from that

dumbcow · Answer

yes the hour hand would have moved proportionately so it would be 28/60 hrs past 1
there are 30 degrees in between each hour
so hour hand is 30+30(28/60) = 44 degrees past 12
minute hand is 6*28 = 168 degrees past 12
--> 168 - 44 = 124 degrees

Thanks a lot for solving it

anonymous · Answer

{28- [(28/60)(5)+5]} (6)= 124 degrees.
