Question

What is the angle between the two hands of clock when it is 7 : 30?

Answer 1

Should be 45 degrees, yeah? The minute hand is straight down, and the hour hand is between the 7 and the 8, which is 45 degrees away.

Answer 2

(360)/(12*2)

Answer 3

15deg

Answer 4

When it is 7:30, the hour hand is not exactly at 7. It is in the middle of 7 and 8...

24 + 12 = 36

Answer 5

Depends on whether the hour hand moves continuously or discretely. I answered for continuously.

Answer 6

ya i made a mistake ! what i said is 6:30

Answer 7

How did you get 45 @nbouscal

Answer 8

Visually.

Answer 9

Those angles are not exact, obviously, but do you see what I mean? It's halfway to 90 degrees.

Answer 10

24 means 1/12 * 360, and between it would be 1/24 * 360... 24 + 12 = 36

Answer 11

can we calculate using maths logic

Answer 12

@ParthKohli ans. is 45.... but I don't get it ..

Answer 13

If we treat it as a unit circle on the xy-plane, with zero degrees at the 3 on the clock, the minute hand is at 270 degrees, and the hour hand is at 225 degrees.

Answer 14

We can calculate that by knowing that each number on the clock is 30 degrees apart from each other (360/12). And we know that the hour hand is halfway between the 7 and the 8.

Answer 15

Actually lol, 360/12 = 30, and 360/24 = 15

30 + 15 = 45

Answer 16

Thanx @nbouscal
