how many times did the minute hand of a clock rotate during April this year?
24*30
Now, in March, it was not 24*31. Why not?
i do not know why,please explain,thanks
March had Daylight Savings Time, so we lost an hour. Actually, I see I am wrong! The minute hand had to go around the same number of times, whether by clockwork or manually.
Now, in November, when we get the hour back, we move the hands back an hour, so they have to around one more time. Two, if you count moving backwards as once around.
To determine how many times the minute hand of a clock rotates during a specific period, we need to consider a few factors.
First, we need to know the number of minutes in April. April has 30 days, and each day has 24 hours, which translates to 24 × 60 = 1,440 minutes per day. Therefore, the total number of minutes in April is 30 × 1,440 = 43,200 minutes.
Next, we need to determine how many full rotations the minute hand makes in a given period. A clock completes a full rotation every 60 minutes.
To find the number of rotations, we divide the total minutes in April (43,200) by 60:
43,200 ÷ 60 = 720 rotations
Therefore, the minute hand of a clock will rotate 720 times during April this year.
