10min past 5 is 5:10
so, 5+10/60 =5+1/6(cross multiply)=31/6
so, 5+10/60 =5+1/6(cross multiply)=31/6

I cant undrstand how that
31/6 hrs= (360/12 * 31/6) = 155
31/6 hrs= (360/12 * 31/6) = 155

I'm confused.
1 min is 5.5 degree or 1 min is 6 degree.
1 min is 5.5 degree or 1 min is 6 degree.

Angle = 60*h-11*m/2.
Where, h=hour, m=minute.
