45 minutes is 3/4 of an hour. In an hour, the minute hand turns 360 degrees.

So in 45 minutes, the minute hand turns 3/4 * 360 = 270 degrees.

Answer - 270 degrees

Here is why:

A full clock turn is 360, there for 3/4 of the clock is 270 degrees.

270, you take three fourths of 360.. 360* 3/4=270
