Imagine an analog clock set to 12 o'clock Note that the hour and minute hands overlap. How many times each day do both the hour and minute hands overlap How would you determine the exact times?

The hands do not overlap between 11 to 12, so only 22 overlaps per day.
--------------------------------- 1 of 2: Cjcarr2000 answer:
---------------------------------
It occurs 12 times a day
Overlap Time = Hour : (Hour * 5)
12:00, 1:05, 2:10, 3:15, 4:20, etc.

It occurs 22 times a day. (as Digbybare said, and not 24 as i was said at first)
Exact times = Hour : ( Hour * 65 / 12 )
that is, when it is "1:05", the hour hand has moved from '1' to '2' (that total distance is 5 minutes) as the minute hand has moved from '12' to '1' (that is exactly 5 minutes, or Hour * 5); so the Hour hand must has moved "Hour / 12" of the 5 minutes:
= Hour : [ (Hour * 5) + (Hour / 12) * 5 ]
= Hour : [ (Hour * 5) + (Hour * 5) / 12 ] => we take out the common (Hour * 5)
= Hour : [ (Hour * 5) * (1 + 1/12) ]
= Hour : [ (Hour * 5) * 13/12 ]
= Hour : (Hour * 65/12).
-------------------------
So the Successive exact time should be
1 : ~5.4
2 : ~10.8
3 : 16.25
4 : ~21.67
5 : ~27.08
6 : 32.5
......,and so on.

What do analog time mean?
time with the hour and minute hand.
How many times do the minute hand and the hour hand overlap?
Once per hour.
Where was the minute hand invented?
i think the same dude who invented the analog clock
How could you make a analog clock more precise?
add a second minute hand. If you could add a second minute hand to an analog clock, you would be able to increase the precision by allowing the time to be determined to the second.
How many times a day on a clock do the minute and hour hand overlap?
60 mins in 1 hour
What is an analog clock?
An analog clock is a clock with numbers in a circle and a minute and hour hand to tell the time.
What are clocks that are not digital called?
Analog clocks have an hour hand and minute hand, and 12 numbers around a circle.
How many times does the minute hand and the hour hand overlap in the 24-hour clock in a day?
Twenty-four times of course !
What is the analog time for 1245?
The hour hand is at 22.5 degrees (clockwise) from the 12 mark, and the minute hand points to the 9.
What is the angle when the time is quarter to 9?
The angle between the minute- and hour-handson an 'analog' clock at 8:45 is 7.5 degrees.
How many times in a day does the hour hand and minute hand of a clock form a straight angle?
24, or 48 if u count when they overlap
What do you call a clock that has a minute hand and a hour hand?
It's an analog clock. The BIG hand tells which hour you are in because an hour is the bigger unit of time measure and the minute is the smaller unit. The little hand tells what minute of the current hour you are in. Granted, most analog clocks have one longer hand and one shorter hand but they are correctly referred to as BIG for hour and LITTLE for minute. Think about it, function over form. Don't be a sheep, this is the original reasoning behind the size and shape of the hands.
