Hi, I have a question please.

1 hour is 30°

so, the total time duration between 8am to 2pm is 6 hours.

so finally 6hours*30° ------> 6*30 = 180°.

The difference between morning 8 o'clock and afternoon 2 o'clock is 6 hours.
Then we know that 1 hour =30°.
6 hours = 6*30=180°.

@Rupa.

If the first time is 1'o'clock a second time is 3'o'clock then definitely you will take between 1 & 3 = 60°.

On the other hand, if it is mentioned as first time 3 and the second time 1 then you will take between 3 & 1 = 300°.

198 seconds
to cover up 4 intervals=6seconds
1 gap=1.5 sec
2*(1.5+3.0+4.5+6+7.5+9+10.5+12+13.5+15+16.5+0)=198 seconds
as first interval takes 0 second 5-1 take 6 seconds
6/4= 1.5

1 hour = 30 deg.

So, 8-2 = 6 hr.

6*30 = 180 deg.
