Since the span between 12 and 2 is 2 hours, and there are 12 hours on a round analogue clock face, it stands to reason that you are essentially dividing a circle into 6 equal pieces by virtue of the 12 hours divided by the two hour span. And if there are 360 degrees in a circle, then one sixth of 360 degrees would leave you with 60 degrees. Therefore the angle between the hands at 12 and 2 O'clock is 60 degrees.

What is the angle between two hands of a clock when the time is 12 hours and 15 minutes?
Right Angle or 900
What is the acute angle between the hands at 1.00?
On a typical 12-hour clock face, the angle between the hands at 1:00 is1/12th of the whole circle.That's (360/12) = 30 degrees.
What is the angle between the hands of a clock at two o'clock?
so you have moved 2/12 around a clock. there are 3600 around the full clock, so: 360/12 is 30, 30x2 is 600.
What is the size of the angle between the hands of a clock at 1 o'clock?
The number of memory between 12 and 1 is 5. There are 60 lines in a clock: 5/60. Since the whole angle of the clock is 360, you multiply 360 and 5/60 together and get the answer of 30 degrees.
