In 8-2 clock.
The difference between clock 8-2 is = 6hours.
So, 6H = 6 * 30 = 180.
Here 1 H = 30 degrees.
The difference between clock 8-2 is = 6hours.
So, 6H = 6 * 30 = 180.
Here 1 H = 30 degrees.

Good solution.

Formula- 30H - 11/2 M.
Here hours (H) given 6 and minutes (M) 0
So, 30 * 6 - 11/ 2 * 0.
30 * 6 = 180.
All these type problems solved by this formula.

According to the problem, 1hour = 60'.
Then 6 hours = 360', hence 360'/12 hours = 30'.
The difference between 2 0'clock and 8 0' clock is 6 hours.
Therefore the solution is 30' * 6 hours = 180 degrees.
Then 6 hours = 360', hence 360'/12 hours = 30'.
The difference between 2 0'clock and 8 0' clock is 6 hours.
Therefore the solution is 30' * 6 hours = 180 degrees.

Gus total clock degree = 360.
The distance between 2 to 8 = 6,
Total hours in a day = 24,
Remaining hours without six hours is 12 (12+6 = 24).
So 360/12 * 6 = 180.
The distance between 2 to 8 = 6,
Total hours in a day = 24,
Remaining hours without six hours is 12 (12+6 = 24).
So 360/12 * 6 = 180.

One hour = 30°
=8 * 30 = 240,
=2 * 30= 60,
= 240-60 = 180°.
=8 * 30 = 240,
=2 * 30= 60,
= 240-60 = 180°.

Since one-quarter of clock to another quarter of the clock is 90°, the time of 10 to 12 is sorted. Remaining is 8 to 9 and 12 to 2.
8 to 9=> one third of angle covered by quarter(90÷3)= 30.
12 to 2 => since one third is 30°, two thirds will be 30*2= 60°.
Total angle =90 + 30 + 60 = 180°.
8 to 9=> one third of angle covered by quarter(90÷3)= 30.
12 to 2 => since one third is 30°, two thirds will be 30*2= 60°.
Total angle =90 + 30 + 60 = 180°.
