what percentage of a full rotation around the clock's face will the minute hand move from 10:44 am to 12:23 pm?
Btw you will get a 5 star rating if you answer this correctly! :)
.....as a further follow up the HOUR hand will move how far?
12 hours = full rotation = 360 degrees
12 hours = 12 x 60 = 720 minutes
360 degrees/ 720 minutes = x degrees / 99 minutes
360/720 x 99 = 49.5 degrees
49.5 / 360 = 13.75% of the clock face is how far the HOUR hand moves !!
10:44 to 11:44 is 60 minutes
11:44 to 12:00 is 16 minutes
12:00 to 12:23 is 23 minutes
TOTAL = 99 minutes
One FULL ROTATION is 60 minutes
99 minutes / 60 minutes/full rotation = 1.65 Rotations 1.65 rotations x 100% = 165 %
.....as a further follow up the HOUR hand will move how far?
12 hours = full rotation = 360 degrees
12 hours = 12 x 60 = 720 minutes
360 degrees/ 720 minutes = x degrees / 99 minutes
360/720 x 99 = 49.5 degrees
49.5 / 360 = 13.75% of the clock face is how far the HOUR hand moves !!
Here is an easier way ...the hour hand moves 1/12th as far as the MINUTE hand
the minute hand moved 165% 165/12 = 13.75% is how far the hour hand moves!
