The minute hand should move 360 degrees in 60 minutes, a rate of 6 degrees per minute.

Sammy's faulty clock has a minute hand that moves 15 degrees in 5 minutes, a rate of 3 degrees per minute.

The minute hand on his clock moves half as fast as it should; since it is normally 1 hour between times when the minute hand is in the same position, it will be 2 hours on Sammy's clock.
