How many degrees does the hour hand of a clock turn in 5 minutes?
February 20th, 2023
##360/144 = 2.5^@##
Each hour is ##1/12## of a complete circle for the hour hand (on a standard ##12## hour clock).
##5## minutes is ##1/12## of an hour.
So in ##5## minutes, the hour hand moves ##1/12*1/12 = 1/144## of a complete circle.
A complete circle is ##360^@##, so this is ##360/144 = 2.5^@##
