Through how many degrees does the hour hand turn in 3 hours 20 minutes?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 100°

The governing fact is that the hour hand completes one full turn of 360° in 12 hours. Its angular speed is therefore 360°/12 = 30° per hour, or 0.5° per minute. The elapsed time is 3 hours 20 minutes = 3 × 60 + 20 = 200 minutes. Multiplying by the minute rate gives 200 × 0.5° = 100°. Equivalently, 3 hours 20 minutes is 10/3 hours, and 30 × 10/3 = 100°. Therefore option B is correct. The 90° option ignores the extra 20 minutes and uses only three hours. The 110° and 120° choices overestimate the motion; 120° would correspond to four complete hours. The calculation assumes the hour hand moves continuously, as a real clock does.
