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 9 hours?
270°
The hour hand turns 360° ÷ 12 = 30° per hour, so in 9 hours it turns 9 × 30° = 270°.
2. 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°.
3. What is the mirror image time of 11:00 on a 12-hour analog clock?
1:00
Reflecting 11:00 across the vertical 12–6 axis gives 12 − 11 = 1:00.
4. What is the mirror image time of 3:00 on a 12-hour analog clock?
9:00
Reflecting 3:00 across the vertical 12–6 axis gives 12 − 3 = 9:00.
5. Through how many degrees does the hour hand of an analog clock turn in 3 hours?
90°
The hour hand turns 360° ÷ 12 = 30° per hour, so in 3 hours it turns 3 × 30° = 90°.
6. 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°.
7. What is the mirror image time of 6:00 on a 12-hour analog clock?
6:00
Reflecting 6:00 across the vertical 12–6 axis gives 12 − 6 = 6:00.
8. 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°.
9. What is the mirror image time of 1:00 on a 12-hour analog clock?
11:00
Reflecting 1:00 across the vertical 12–6 axis gives 12 − 1 = 11:00.
10. 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°.
11. What is the mirror image time of 8:00 on a 12-hour analog clock?
4:00
Reflecting 8:00 across the vertical 12–6 axis gives 12 − 8 = 4:00.
12. 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.
