Question 485845: I was wondering if you could please explain this question to me. What measure of angle is swept by the minute hand during the duration of a class if the class starts at 2:16P.M. and end at 2:47 P.M.? Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! if it starts at 2:16 pm and ends at 2:47 pm, then the duration of the class is 31 minutes because 2:47 minus 2:16 = 31.
there are 60 minutes in an hour.
the minute hand goes through a rotation of 360 degrees in one hour.
the number of degrees the minute hand traverses each minute is equal to 360 / 60 = 6 degrees.
