The hour hand moves 360/12=30 degrees every hour (so in 12 hours it moves 360 degrees -- back to where it started). One minute is 1/60 of an hour, so in 1 minute the hour hand moves 30/60=1/2 degree. In the meantime the minute hand has moved 1/60th of the distance around the clock, or 1/60 x 360 = 6 degrees. So at 12:01 the angle between the hands is 6 - 1/2 = 5 1/2 degrees
