Question

A clock starts at 5:05. What time is it after the minute hand rotates 12 degrees?

Answer 1

simply view your clock as a circle
a circle is 360˚

your clock has 60 minutes and hence is divided into 60 parts
360/60=6

the circle is 6 times 'bigger' in measurement than the clock
so if you were to put the angle in a clock, it would look 6 times smaller

let x be the number of minutes

hence
12˚/360˚ = 6x/360
12=6x
x=2
its 5:05 + 2 minutes

Answer 2

Only in 3rd grade. Don't understand. Divide 360? Is there an easier way?

Answer 3

hmmm how many degrees are there in a circle?

Answer 4

360

Answer 5

the minute hand goes around the clock/circle once
and that's 1 hour
and it moves a little bit

well, in 1hr, there are 60minutes
that means that in one way around the clock
the minute hand has done 1hr, or 60minutes or 360 degrees

so to know how many degrees the minute hand moves over 1 minute
you'd grab the circle's 360 degrees and divide it by 60 even pieces

Answer 6

\(\bf 360^o\div 60min\implies 6^o\ per \ min\)

Answer 7

The question is: A clock starts at 5:05. What time is it after the minute hand rotates 12 degrees? Would it be

Answer 8

This is the question- a clock starts at 5:05. What time is it after the minute hand rotates 12 degrees? Don't get it.

Answer 9

if it rotates 6 degrees, its 1 minute
therefore for 12 degrees, its
12/6=2

1 minute x 2 = 2minutes

no idea why your school would give you such a question if you haven't learnt to divide.
