how many degrees does the minute hand move from 4:00 to 4:30?
Since a circle = 360 degrees, then half a circle must be 180 degrees.
soccer began at 2:30 p.m and stopped at 3:00 p.m. because of rrain. during this time, what fraction of a circle did the minute hand turn? how many degrees did the minute hand turn?
To determine the number of degrees the minute hand moves from 4:00 to 4:30, we need to know the total degrees in a circle and the rate at which the minute hand moves.
1. A circle is divided into 360 degrees.
2. The minute hand completes a full circle or 360 degrees in 60 minutes.
3. So, in one minute, the minute hand moves 360 degrees / 60 minutes = 6 degrees.
Now, we can calculate the number of degrees the minute hand moves from 4:00 to 4:30.
1. The time difference between 4:00 and 4:30 is 30 minutes.
2. Therefore, the minute hand moves 30 minutes x 6 degrees/minute = 180 degrees.
So, the minute hand moves a total of 180 degrees from 4:00 to 4:30.
To find out how many degrees the minute hand moves from 4:00 to 4:30, we need to calculate the angle traversed by the minute hand in 30 minutes.
In general, the minute hand completes a full rotation (360 degrees) in 60 minutes. Therefore, the minute hand moves 360/60 = 6 degrees per minute.
From 4:00 to 4:30, there are 30 minutes. So, by multiplying the minutes (30) by the degrees per minute (6), we can find the total angle moved by the minute hand.
30 minutes * 6 degrees per minute = 180 degrees
Therefore, the minute hand moves 180 degrees from 4:00 to 4:30.
