How many degrees does the minute hand of a clock move from 5.35 pm to 6.55 pm?
The minute hand of a clock moves 360 degrees in one hour.
From 5:35 pm to 6:00 pm is 25 minutes, which is \(\frac{25}{60} = \frac{5}{12}\) of an hour. Therefore, the minute hand will move \(\frac{5}{12} \times 360 = 150\) degrees from 5:35 pm to 6:00 pm.
From 6:00 pm to 6:55 pm is 55 minutes, which is \(\frac{55}{60} = \frac{11}{12}\) of an hour. Therefore, the minute hand will move \(\frac{11}{12} \times 360 = 330\) degrees from 6:00 pm to 6:55 pm.
Therefore, the total degrees moved by the minute hand from 5:35 pm to 6:55 pm is \(150 + 330 = 480\) degrees.
