What angle do the minute and hour hands of a clock form at 4:45?
What angle do the minute and hour hands of a clock form at 4:45?
There are twelve numbers on a clock; from one to the next, a hand rotates 
. At 4:45, the minute hand is exactly on the "9" - that is, at the 
. The hour hand is three-fourths of the way from the "4" to the "5" - that is, on the 
position. Therefore, the difference is the angle they make:
There are twelve numbers on a clock; from one to the next, a hand rotates

What angle do the minute and hour hands of a clock form at 8:50?
What angle do the minute and hour hands of a clock form at 8:50?
There are twelve numbers on a clock; from one to the next, a hand rotates 
. At 8:50, the minute hand is exactly on the "10" - that is, on the 
position. The hour hand is five-sixth of the way from the "8" to the "9" - that is, on the 
position. Therefore, the difference is the angle they make:
.
