So, in 1 hour minute hand covers 360 degrees.
So, in 1 hour Hour hand completes 30 degrees. (Since clock has 12 hours in a complete journey.
So 12 hours = 360 degrees that means 360/12 = 30 degrees in 1 hour.
Now, the solution is straightforward.
1 hour Hour hand traverses 30 degrees.
So, in 6 hours it will traverse = 30*6 = 180 degrees. :).

1 hour takes 30 degrees given 8am-2pm 6 hours then 6 (30) = 180 degrees.

12 hours = 360 deg. Then 1 hour = 30 degree.

Simple form.
For 12 hours we take 360 degree.
And 8-2 = 6.
So, 360/12*6 = 180.
For 12 hours we take 360 degree.
And 8-2 = 6.
So, 360/12*6 = 180.

Simple formula :- 1/2(60x-11y).
Here x=hour.
y=minute.
Put any value in time then got answer in degree.
And solve many other questions.

AS the question say time is 8am-2pm.
Time between 8am-2pm is 6 hours gap.
Now, we have 12 hours. Which is 12=360deg.(the clock rotates).
After that we take 6 hours and total degree(360)of 12 hours.
Which looks like this:
360/12*6=180deg.
Time between 8am-2pm is 6 hours gap.
Now, we have 12 hours. Which is 12=360deg.(the clock rotates).

360/12*6=180deg.
