Wrong. The "LITTLE" hand indicates the minute of the hour and the"BIG" hand indicates the hour of the day (or at least half day - AM/PM).
The minute hand is the LITTLE hand because it represents the smaller unit of time when compared to an hour which is indicated by the BIG hand. Granted, the longer hand is longer than the shorter hand but it is was historically always thinner than the hour hand. Thinner = LITTLE And the hour hand was always shorter but fatter than the minute hand. Fatter = BIG
The reason they were originally called "BIG" and "LITTLE" was based on the amount of time each represents. Hour is 60 times bigger than minute. Hour is BIG and minute is LITTLE. Hour hand is BIG HAND and minute hand is LITTLE HAND. End of story

When the time in the clock is 12.20 the angle between the hands of the clock is xo. find x.?
If the little hand stayed on the 12, the angle would be 120°. Assuming both hands are pointing to 12 o'clock, when the big hand has moved to 20 past (1/3 of the way round) the little hand will have moved 1/3 of the way to the next number (1). So the angle between the hands will be: 1/3 × 360° - 1/3 × 1/12 × 360° = 120° - 10° = 110°.

0.09375 is the same as 3 / 32. It is between the numbers 0 and 1, closer to 0.How big this is depends on what is being compared. e.g. 0.09375 light years is big compared to 1 meter if one considers 14 orders of magnitude to be a "big" difference.On the other hand, a 0.09375 nanoliter container would be considered a small container by normal day-to-day human standards.The number itself doesn't allow one to come to any objective conclusions as to how big it is, since "big" is a subjective measure.
