What to do when you take minute spaces in degrees instead of minutes?

55 = 60 min.
45 = x.
X= 60*45\55.
X = 540/11.
X = 49 1/11 past 9.
45 = x.
X= 60*45\55.
X = 540/11.
X = 49 1/11 past 9.

If time is between x and y:
[x*5+angle]*(12/11) past x.
[x*5+angle]*(12/11) past x.

@All.
θ = (11m/2) - 30h is a standard formula.
θ = (11m/2) - 30h is a standard formula.
