                  The minute hand (longer hand) moves from one small division to the next small  division
                  in 1 minute. It goes once around the dial in 1 hour. So, the minute hand covers 60 small

                  divisions in 1 hour.
                  So,                           1 hour = 60 minutes

                  The hour hand moves from one number to the next number in 1 hour.

                  So, it takes 12  hours to complete one round. The hour hand takes 2 complete rounds in
                  a day. So,                    1 day = 24 hours
