Total degree in clock = 360,
1 clock have = 30,
8 am to 2 pm = 6 hr.
6 * 30 = 180.

Hour hand rotate 360 degrees in 12 hours.
From 8:00am - To 2:00 pm = 6 hrs duration.
Hour hand rotate 360 degrees in 12 hours.
Then, Hour hand rotate 180 degrees in 6 hrs.
From 8:00am - To 2:00 pm = 6 hrs duration.

1hr=30degree.
The gap btw 8to 2is 6hrs.
Then the hour hand move is 6*30=180 degrees.
The gap btw 8to 2is 6hrs.
Then the hour hand move is 6*30=180 degrees.

Total (6hr * 60min) /2 = 180°.
Hour hand moves 1/2 in 1min.
Hour hand moves 1/2 in 1min.

Each hour has 30 degrees. So, 8 to 2 there are 6 hours. So 30*6=180.
