Question 146617: Please help?
Starting at 8 A.M. determine the number of times in the next 24 hours for which the hour and minute hands on a clock coincide?
Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the hands coincide every hour (8:40+, 9:45+, 10:50+, etc.)with the exception of 11 o'clock
__ by the time the minute hand catches the hour hand during the 11th hour, it is 12:00
so; 24 times, minus the two 11 o'clocks, is 22 times
