From 3:00 pm to 3:45 pm the minute hand of a clock turns how many degrees?

270

To find out how many degrees the minute hand of a clock turns from 3:00 pm to 3:45 pm, we need to calculate the angle the minute hand travels in this time interval.

First, let's determine the angle each minute represents. A clock has 60 minutes, and it completes a full revolution (360 degrees) in 60 minutes. Therefore, each minute represents 360 degrees divided by 60, which is 6 degrees.

Now, let's find out how many minutes have passed from 3:00 pm to 3:45 pm. In this case, it is 45 minutes.

Finally, we can calculate the total angle the minute hand turns by multiplying the number of minutes (45) by the angle each minute represents (6 degrees):
45 minutes × 6 degrees/minute = 270 degrees.

Therefore, the minute hand of a clock turns 270 degrees from 3:00 pm to 3:45 pm.

3/4 * 360 = ?
