The time when the big hand is on 11 and the little hand is nearly on 5 is approximately 10:55. The big hand represents minutes, and the little hand represents hours. When the big hand is on 11, it means that 55 minutes have passed since the hour, and the little hand is nearly on 5, indicating that the hour is almost at 11.


How many degrees does the hour hand of the clock turn in 12 hours?

What is the angle created by the hour and minute hand if the time was 630?

15 degrees (a 15 degree angle). The minute hand points directly to the 6 (marking an exact half hour); the hour hand is exactly half way between the 6 and 7, marking 6.5 hours exactly. Each full hour (usually marked on clock by a number) represents 30 degrees (1/12 of 360); each half hour represents 1/2 of that or 15 degrees.

If the little hand is on the 1 and the big hand is on the 6 what time is it?

1:30 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
