Rotation rate of hour hand on clock?

[BioGuy]

What is the rotation rate in revolutions per minute of the hour hand of a clock?

a.) 1/(12x60)
b.) 1/24
c.) 1/(24x60)
d.) none of these

I am not too sure how to answer this, i want to say its (a.) because it makes the most sense... ??any suggestions??

How many minutes are there in 12hours (the time it takes to go around the clock?)
If you have N minutes/revolution - how do you get to revolutions/minute?

hint - if you are going 10miles/hour, what fraction of an hour does it take to go 1 mile

 

[BioGuy]

there are 720 minutes in 12 hours..

you invert(recipricol) of xmin/rev to get revolutions/min

im still a little lost... :-/ how can we disprove some choices?

one of the key differences in your choices are the numbers 12 and 24. What do they represent, and which one is relevant in the case of a full rotation of the hour hand?

Exactly so the answer is 1/(12*60) = 1/720 as you said.
You don't need to disprove the others - they are just wrong!
