Answer 2

Answer:

At 9:16 the hour hand and minute hand of the clock point in opposite direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem can be solved in the following manner.

270 + x = 90 + 12x

11x = 180, or

x = 180/11 = 16.3636

Here we have considered the two angles, i.e., 270 and 90 and formed them into an equation to calculate the desired result.

Therefore, at 9:16.3636 the hour and minute hand will be 180 degrees apart. Hence, they will be pointing in the opposite direction.
