Through how many degrees does the minute hand move from 4:00 to 4:30?

From 4:00 to 4:30 is half a circle.

A circle has 360 degrees.

The minute hand moves 180 degrees

To determine the number of degrees the minute hand moves from 4:00 to 4:30, you need to know a couple of key facts.

First, the minute hand makes one complete revolution around the clock face, which is 360 degrees, in 60 minutes. This means that every minute, the minute hand moves 360/60 = 6 degrees.

Second, from 4:00 to 4:30, there are 30 minutes.

So, to calculate the number of degrees the minute hand moves from 4:00 to 4:30, you simply multiply the number of minutes by the degrees moved per minute:

30 minutes * 6 degrees/minute = 180 degrees

Therefore, the minute hand moves through 180 degrees from 4:00 to 4:30.
