55 min. spaces are gained by minute hand in 60 min period.
to find how many spaces it has actually gained, we need to fix a standard point first..!!
with respect to it, we need to see the difference by how much is it actually varying..!!
so let us assume the standard point to be the place where the minutes hand and hours hand has been coincided..!!
i may be 12:00 ,1.06, 2.11,3.17...etc..from there..60 minutes implies the minute hand must come back to the same point where it has started..!!
is it not..??
now, 60 minute passed and so minute hand covers 60 minute spaces.
And the hour hand advances by 5 minute spaces..!!
so from the standard point fixed initially (we assumed the standard point is where the minute point and hours hand were coinciding..also..60 minutes will be passed when the minute hand comes back to the same position from where it started)
now, there is
an absolute 60 min spaces covered by minute hand in 60 min and then there is 5 min spaces advanced by hour hand in 60 min period..!!
so on total..
total advancement is 60-5 = 55 minute spaces..!!

How far does the minute hand move in fifteen minutes?

How many minutes does the minute hand take to move in an hour on a clock?
60 Minutes
How many degrees does the minute hand move in a quarter hour?
In a quarter hour, the minute hand moves 90 degrees because a quarter hour is fifteen minutes. 360/4 = 90.
How many degrees does the minute hand of a clock turn in 45 minutes?
On a normal 12-hour clock, the minute hand moves thru 360° in 1 hour, 360° in 60 minutes, or 6° every minute. 6° x 45 = 270°
Examples of clock problems of algebra with answer?
Q:At what time between 2 and 3 o'clock are the hands of the clock be 15 minutes apart? A:1) The position of the hour hand at this point... Well, there are 60 minutes in an hour, and that makes the hour hand move 5 minutes each hour. We know that 2 o'clock puts the hour hand at 10 minutes. Since the hour hand passes 5 minutes every hour, it goes 5/60 = 1/12 per minute. The minute hand goes at 1 minute for each minute. The correct time could be found by solving for x as minutes past 2 with the equation 10 + x/12 = x - 15. This does not use x + 15 since that would put the time before 2 o'clock. ~YSSB~
Which moves faster the hour or minutes hands?
Minute hand.
How far does the minute hand move in fifteen minutes?
In fifteen minutes the minute hand of a clock will move 90 degrees, or three hour labels.
How many minutes does the minute hand take to move in an hour on a clock?
60 Minutes
How many degrees does the minute hand move in a quarter hour?
In a quarter hour, the minute hand moves 90 degrees because a quarter hour is fifteen minutes. 360/4 = 90.
The hour hand on a clock move 160 of a degree every minute how many degrees will it move in a hour?
On a normal 12-hour clock, the hour hand moves 360° in 12 hours, 360° in 720 minutes, or ½° every minute, not 1/60°. In one hour, 60 minutes, a normal 12-hour clock's hour hand will move 30°.
What is the angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock at half past two?
If we simply imagine the minute hand is on the 6, and the hour hand is on the two, there will be a total of 120 degrees between the minute and the hour hand, 1/3 of the clock is covered between the two hands. However, it is not that simple. Because 30 minutes has travelled, the hour hand will be half way between the 2 and the 3. We know that every hour, the hour hand moves 30 degrees (360 / 12 hours = 30). Therefore, in 30 minutes, it will have travelled 15 degrees. Which means the hour hand is 15 degrees closer to the minute hand. Therefore, the actual angle between the minute and hour hand is actually 105 degrees.
How many hours does it take for the hour hand to travel as far as the minute hand travel in 40 minutes?
If both started at 12, in forty minutes, the minute hand would reach the 8 mark on the clock. The 8 mark symbolizes 8 hours past 12. So it would take 8 hours for the hour hand to travel as far as the minute hand travels in 40 minutes.
How long does it take for the minute hand on a clock to move one degree?
On a normal 12-hour clock, the minute hand moves thru 360° in 1 hour, 360° in 60 minutes, or 6° every minute. In ten seconds, the minute hand moves 1°.
The hour hand on a clock moves one half of a degree every minute how many degrees will the hand move in one hour?
the hour hand moves 30 degrees in every hour, the minute hand moves 6 degrees each minute Clocks hand moves 1/60 of a degree every minute1 hour = 60 minutes60 * 1/60 = 1The clocks hand move 1 degree an hour
How many degrees does the minute hand of a clock turn in 45 minutes?
On a normal 12-hour clock, the minute hand moves thru 360° in 1 hour, 360° in 60 minutes, or 6° every minute. 6° x 45 = 270°
How many time hour hand and minutes hand cross?
22 times. hour hand meets minute hand each hour. Example : they meet at about 1h6, 2h17,... ( it's not exactly). But the 11th hour, they don't meet any times. So in a round of hour hand, it meets minute hand only 11 times and 22 times in a day
What is the angle at which the minute hand of a clock rotates over a period of twelve minutes?
12 minutes is 1/5th of an hour. The minute hand sweeps 360 degrees - a full circle - in one hour. So the angle formed by the start and stop of a 12-minute sweep of the minute hand would be 1/5th of 360 degrees or 72 degrees.
