Question

it's 2 pm how many degrees are in the angle between the hour and minute hand

Answer 1

recall that there are 360° in a full circle.

now, a clock has 12 evenly spaced number labels on it, so the distance between each number is 360°/12, or 30°.

if the Hour hand is at [12], and the Minute hand is at [2], they are two spaces away, namely 30°+30°, or 60°.
