First, the hour hand moved from 12 (straight up) to just past 5.
That means it moved through 5/12 or the entire circle.
That is (360 degrees / 12 hours) * 5 hours = 150 degrees.
Next, how far did it go past the 5 on the clock?
The answer is that each hour is this many degrees:
360 degrees /12 hours = 30 degrees / hour
And this hour has 10 minutes used, that is 10/60.
So, 30 degrees * (10/60) = 5 degrees more.
That means it moved through 5/12 or the entire circle.
That is (360 degrees / 12 hours) * 5 hours = 150 degrees.
