In 24 minutes, how many degrees will the hour hand have traveled?
a. 24� b. 60� c. 96� d. 144� e. None of these


The hour hand turns 360� degrees in 12 hours. So its angular
speed is 360�/12 or 30� per hour. 24 minutes is 24/60 or 2/5
of an hour so the hour hand turns through 2/5ths of 30� or 12�
in 24 minutes.  The correct choice is e. None of these
