An accurate clock has 12 hours on its face, and the hour hand completes one full rotation (360 degrees) in 12 hours.
From 8 o'clock in the morning to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, there are 6 hours.
To find how many degrees the hour hand will rotate in 6 hours, you can use the following formula:
Degrees rotated = (Hours elapsed / Total hours on the clock) * 360 degrees
Degrees rotated = (6 hours / 12 hours) * 360 degrees
Degrees rotated = (1/2) * 360 degrees
Degrees rotated = 180 degrees
So, the hour hand will rotate 180 degrees from 8 o'clock in the morning to 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
