draw it out my friend for additional aid

Answer 3

Angle traced by hour hand in 12 hrs = 360º
Angle traced by hour hand in 5 hrs 10 min: 31/6 hrs= (360/12) * (31/6)= ?

Answer 4

You've got it right with what you have put down

Answer 5

360/12 = 30 degrees per hour.
So 5 *30 = 150 degrees.
Then 10 mins is 1/6 of an hour and 1/6 x 30 = 5 degrees.
And 150+5=155 degrees.
