What angle (in degrees) does the hour hand describe in 2 hours 2 minutes?

To solve this problem, we introduce the conditional variable “X”, through which we denote the angle in degrees, which the hour hand describes in 2 hours 2 minutes.

Let’s take into account the fact that one hour contains 60 minutes, and in one complete revolution the hour hand describes an angle of 360 degrees.

Then, based on the data of the problem, we will compose the following proportion: X degrees relate to 122 minutes as 360 degrees relate to 60 minutes.

Then, based on this proportion, we will compose the following equation: X x 60 = 122 x 360.

Solving this equation, we get X equal to 732 degrees.

Answer: 732 degrees.
