If you rotate a clock clockwise 90° from 3:00, what will it be?

have you looked at an analog clock?

do you know that 90° is 1/4 the way around?
do you know which direction is clockwise?

actually, upon reading the question carefully, it occurs to me that it's still 3:00, no matter what you do with the clock!

In fact, reading even more carefully, "it" will still be a clock! Doesn't mater what time it is.

To determine the new time on a clock after rotating it, you can follow these steps:

1. Visualize the original position of the clock hands: At 3:00, the hour hand points directly at the 3 and the minute hand is on the 12.

2. Imagine rotating the clock clockwise 90°: To do this, you need to envision the clock face turning while keeping the same orientation. In this case, you'll be rotating it so the 12 is at the 3 o'clock position.

3. Determine the new position of the hour hand: Since you've turned the clock 90°, the hour hand will also move in relation to the original 3 o'clock position. In this case, it will rotate a quarter of the way around the new clock face. Therefore, it will point halfway between the 1 and the 2 on the clock face.

4. Determine the new position of the minute hand: While rotating the clock, the minute hand moves along with it. Since you've rotated the clock 90°, the minute hand will also shift a quarter of the way around. In this case, it will be pointing directly at the 9 on the clock face.

Putting it all together, when you rotate a clock clockwise 90° from the original position of 3:00, the new time will be approximately 1:45 (with the hour hand pointing between the 1 and the 2, and the minute hand pointing directly at the 9). Note that this approximation is due to the fact that the movement of clock hands is not perfectly precise when rotated in this way.
