An accurate clock shows 8 o'clock in the morning. Through how may degrees will the hour hand rotate when the clock shows 2 o'clock in the afternoon?
Correct Answer
B. 180º
Explanation
The hour hand of a clock completes a full rotation of 360 degrees in 12 hours. From 8 o'clock in the morning to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, 6 hours have passed.
