Through how many degrees does the hour hand of a clock move in 3 hours and 20 minutes ?

  • A.90°
  • B.100°
  • C.110°
  • D.120°

Answer: B

Correct answer: 100°

The hour hand covers \(360°\) in 12 hours, so it moves \(30°\) per hour, or \(0.5°\) per minute.

\[3 \times 30 + 20 \times 0.5 = 90 + 10 = 100°\]

The minute hand, by contrast, would sweep \(1200°\) in the same interval.
