Each interval between numbers on a clock is 30 degrees. When the minute hand is on the 6 (which is the half mark), the hour hand has already moved 15 degrees from 12, because half of 30 is 15. To make calculating the angle easier, we can apply what we know. We know that a straight line is 180 degrees. Now subtract 15 from 180, and you get 165 degrees.
