The time is 7:05:27 (and .27 seconds)
Calculating by degree
Assume the minute hand doesn't move in steps ... it just glides continuously and analogly, at the rate of 6 degrees per minute. At 'M' minutes past the hour, it's pointing toward an azimuth of 6M degrees.
Assume the hour hand doesn't move in steps either; it also glides in a smooth analog fashion, at the rate of 30 degrees per hour. At 'M' minutes past 7:00, the hour hand points toward an azimuth of 210 + 30(M/60) = 210 + M/2 degrees. The direction opposite the hour hand is 180 degrees different, or 30 + M/2.
That's the direction we want the minute hand pointing.
6M = 30 + M/2
12M = 60 + M
11M = 60
M = 60/11 minutes = 5 minutes 27.27 seconds after 7:00.
Using this formula
The formula M = H * (60/11) gives the whole and decimal minutes past the hour for times that have overlapping hour and minute hands, where H is an hour between 1 and 10. Adding 6 hours to these times will provide the opposite times, except for 6 o'clock exactly (from 0:00:00).

What is the size of the acute angle between the hands of a clock at 9 oclock?
270 degrees
How do you calculate the angle formed by the hands of the clock at 3 oclock 5 oclock 11 oclock?
get yourself a cartesian circle, or just look at one online and translate it from there 3,6,9, and 12 would all be 90 deg increments.
What time will the hands of a clock be in a same line but not together?
12 and 6
What formula using the angle between the hands of a clock at 4 o clock?
obtuse

If a clock sHow is 3 hours 45 minutes what is the acute angle between the hands in the clock?
At 3 hours 45 minutes there is not an acute angle between the hands of the clock (unless you extend the hands backwards).

12 and 6
