The minute hand of a clock moves from 3 o'clock to 6 o'clock, or \(\frac{1}{4}\) of a complete revolution. Through how many degrees does it move?

A full revolution is equal to 360 degrees. Thus, rotating a quarter of a full revolution would put it at 360/4 = 90 degrees.

Well, there's 360 degrees in a full circle. If the hand moves 1/4 of a complete revolution, divide 360 by 4.
360 ÷ 4 = 90
The minute hand moved 90 degrees.

The minute hand of a clock moves through 90 degrees when it goes from 3 o'clock to 6 o'clock. This is because each hour represents 30 degrees, and the hand moves through 3 hour increments. Therefore, the total angle is 3 hours times 30 degrees per hour, which equals 90 degrees.
