Amma puts the stew on the stove at the time on clock A and switches it off at the time on clock B. Through how many degrees does the minute hand turn in between?

Question

Accepted Answer

252°. A shows 7:10 and B shows 7:52, so 42 minutes pass. The minute hand turns 6° every minute: 42 × 6 = 252°. (21° is the hour hand's turn, at 0.5° a minute.)
