how many degrees does the hour hand move in 6 hours?
Are you sure it's the hour hand?
In 6 hours, the hour hand moves half way around the clock.
360/2 = 180 degrees

180
To find out how many degrees the hour hand moves in 6 hours, we need to know how many degrees it moves in one hour.
The hour hand of a clock completes a full rotation of 360 degrees in 12 hours. This means that in one hour, the hour hand moves 360 degrees divided by 12, which is 30 degrees.
So, to determine how many degrees the hour hand moves in 6 hours, we multiply the movement in one hour (30 degrees) by the number of hours (6).
Hence, the hour hand moves 30 degrees × 6 = 180 degrees in 6 hours.
