What is the degree measure of the acute angle formed by the hour and minute hands at 2:16?

Answer 1

let's consider "noon" on the clock as 0°, then 16 minutes will be at 96°

2:16 = 2 16/60 of an hour = 34/15 hours
each hour is represented by 30°
so the hour hand has moved (34/15)(30) or 68°

which means that the acute angle between the hands
= 96-68 °
= 28°
