Answer 2

Answer:

at 5:15, its angle is (5 + 15/60) * 360/12 = 157.5 degrees. The minute hand moves 360 degrees each 60 minutes, so at 15 minutes past the hour it has moved 15/60 * 360 = 90 degrees. Thus, the difference between the two hands is 157.5 - 90 = 67.5 degrees. The hour hand moves 360 degrees every 12 hours.
