Question

It is 12:25 what time will it be when the minute hand moves 270 degrees?

Answer 1

13:10 if the clock´s hands move cw, it they move ccw will be 11:40

Answer 2

Okay, so we know that a minute hand will move 360 degrees in 1 hour, right. So we can use that to figure it out (I'm going to use a stupid way of dimensional analysis because the formula to get it is just out of my head).

currentTime + (270 degrees * (60 minutes/360 degrees)) =

12:25 + 0:45 = 1:10

So it will be 1:10.

Look in your book for a better way of doing it.

Answer 3

please tell me you're kidding.  have your parents moved away and you're home all alone without even a television set ... (i wuzz gonna say "no computer" but i suspect you have access to one...) ???

if i were an extraterrestrial (of which i suspect there are at least a few near your house) i would move the minute hands 270 degrees BACKWARDS, and make the water flow from the sink back UP into the faucet.  don't flush that toilet anytime soon.  your car might operate tomorrow, but i wouldn't count on it being normal.
