Question:

What fraction of a clockwise revolution does the hour hand of a clock turn through, when it goes from

Answer :-

[tex]\begin{gathered}\qquad\qquad\qquad\boxed{3/4}\end{gathered}[/tex]

Solution:-

3/4 revolution is covered when the hour hand goes from 1 to 10 in the clockwise direction

The number of hours covered in the clockwise revolution from 1 to 10 is 9 hours.

12 hours = 1 full revolution

=> 1 hour = 1/12 revolution

=> 9 hours = 9 * 1/12 = 3/4 revolution

Hence,

3/4 revolution is covered when the hour hand goes from 1 to 10 in the clockwise direction
