Clock hand degree turns

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. Through how many degrees does the hour hand of an analog clock turn in 2 hours?
60°
The hour hand turns 360° ÷ 12 = 30° per hour, so in 2 hours it turns 2 × 30° = 60°.
2. Through how many degrees does the hour hand of an analog clock turn in 12 hours?
360°
The hour hand turns 360° ÷ 12 = 30° per hour, so in 12 hours it turns 12 × 30° = 360°.
3. What is the mirror image time of 10:00 on a 12-hour analog clock?
2:00
Reflecting 10:00 across the vertical 12–6 axis gives 12 − 10 = 2:00.
4. Through how many degrees does the hour hand of an analog clock turn in 1 hour?
30°
The hour hand turns 360° ÷ 12 = 30° per hour, so in 1 hour it turns 1 × 30° = 30°.
5. What is the mirror image time of 7:00 on a 12-hour analog clock?
5:00
Reflecting 7:00 across the vertical 12–6 axis gives 12 − 7 = 5:00.
6. Through how many degrees does the hour hand of an analog clock turn in 9 hours?
270°
The hour hand turns 360° ÷ 12 = 30° per hour, so in 9 hours it turns 9 × 30° = 270°.
7. Through how many degrees does the hour hand of an analog clock turn in 6 hours?
180°
The hour hand turns 360° ÷ 12 = 30° per hour, so in 6 hours it turns 6 × 30° = 180°.
8. What is the mirror image time of 4:00 on a 12-hour analog clock?
8:00
Reflecting 4:00 across the vertical 12–6 axis gives 12 − 4 = 8:00.
9. What is the mirror image time of 9:00 on a 12-hour analog clock?
3:00
Reflecting 9:00 across the vertical 12–6 axis gives 12 − 9 = 3:00.
10. Through how many degrees does the hour hand of an analog clock turn in 5 hours?
150°
The hour hand turns 360° ÷ 12 = 30° per hour, so in 5 hours it turns 5 × 30° = 150°.
11. Through how many degrees does the hour hand of an analog clock turn in 8 hours?
240°
The hour hand turns 360° ÷ 12 = 30° per hour, so in 8 hours it turns 8 × 30° = 240°.
12. Through how many degrees does the hour hand of an analog clock turn in 11 hours?
330°
The hour hand turns 360° ÷ 12 = 30° per hour, so in 11 hours it turns 11 × 30° = 330°.
