Question

How many angle degrees does a minute hand travel in 1 minute? What angle does an hour hand travel in 1 min?

Answer 1

The hour hand moves 360 degrees / 12 in an hour = 30 degrees.

It follows that in a minute it moves 30 degrees / 60 = 1/2 degree.

Therefore in a second it moves 1/2 degrees / 60 = 1/120 degree.
