Answer 4

lol and it's 6 15 right now

Answer 5

can you explain how you got that?

Answer 6

It's not exactly 90 degrees. The minutes hand at 3 is in a horizontal position, but the hours hand is not exactly pointing vertically down because at 15 past the hour, the hours hand has advanced a little past the 6.

Answer 7

ok every one thanks

Answer 8

At 6:15 the hours hand has advanced 1/4 of the way between the 6 and the 7. Since the entire circle of 360 degrees represents 12 hours, each hour is 30 degrees. Each 15 minutes is 1/4 hour, so it's 7.5 degrees. At 6:15, the hours hand is 7.5 degrees past vertically down. At 15 past any hour, the minutes hand is exactly on the 3, so the angle between hands at 6:15 is 97.5 degrees.
