Through what angle does the minute hand of a clock turn in 12 minutes of time? A. 120° B. 36° C. 12° D. 72°

72 Degrees

If a clock turns 12 minutes out of 60 minutes, then it went around 1/5 of the clock. Since there are 360 degrees in a circle (clock), then 1/5 of the circle would be 1/5 of 360 which is 72 degrees.

If you divided the clock in to 45 degrees ever 15 min it would only make since 36 degrees would be at 12min.
