Question

the hand of the clock below is pointing at the 10. suppose that the hand moves clockwise until it points at the 6. how many degrees does the hand move?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate degrees per clock mark

A full clock circle is $360^\circ$, divided into 12 equal marks.
$\frac{360^\circ}{12} = 30^\circ$ per mark

Step2: Count clockwise marks from 10 to 6

Moving clockwise from 10 to 6 passes 8 marks (10→11→12→1→2→3→4→5→6).

Step3: Compute total degrees moved

Multiply degrees per mark by number of marks.
$30^\circ \times 8 = 240^\circ$

Answer:

$240$
