The hour hand takes twelve hours for a complete circle, 360 degrees.
Twelve hours is 12x60 minutes = 720 minutes.
If 360 degrees takes 720 minutes, 1 degree takes 720 divided by 360.
720/360 = 2 minutes.

The hour hand moves 360 degrees in 12 hours so 6 degrees takes 0.2 hours = 12 minutes.
It moves 360 degrees every 12 hours, so for 90 degrees that is 3 hours
The long hand makes one complete revolution around the clock in one hour. It travels 360 degrees in rotation, or 2 pi radians. The tip of the long hand travels 2 pi inches per inch of length of the hand. The center of the long hand ( pivot point) does not move at all, but travels 2 pi radians in rotation.
When the short hand is on 1 and the long hand is on 3, it is 1:15. The short hand indicates the hour, while the long hand represents the minutes. Since the long hand is on the 3, it shows that 15 minutes have passed since the hour began.
