If they're pointing exactly at the same number, the time can only be 12:00

What time is it when the hour hand is little past the 3 and the minute hand is pointing to the 3?
3:15
Looking at a standard wall clock at the time 6 30 what is the angle in nearest degrees created by the minute hand and the hour hand?
The angle between the hour hand and the minute hand on a standard clock at 6:30 is 15 degrees. Let's review the movement of the hands of the clock specific to this problem. The hour hand moves through the 12 hours of half a day in 12 hours (naturally), and that translates into the hour hand moving 360 degrees in 12 hours. That means the hour hand moves 360/12, or 30 degrees per hour. That translates into 15 degrees in half an hour. If the hour hand is pointing straight down at 6:00 (which it is), it will move 15 degrees from where it was in half and hour. And the time will be 6:30 with the minute hand pointing straight down. The minute hand will be pointing to where the hour hand was half an hour ago. And, as stated, the hour hand will have moved from dead on the six and gone 15 degrees further around.
What is the angle between the hands of a clock when it is exactly 5 o'clock?
short answer 150o long answer a hour hand pointing at 5 and the minute hand pointing at 12. the calculation is as follows 5(360/12) = 150 the 12 is because their are 12 numbers on a clock, ie the clock is divided evenly into twelfths. 5 is the fifth number after 12 so the resulting number is multiplied by 5
Why the hands of a clock do not form a right angle at 1215 pm?
The minute hand, which is pointing at 3 is at right angles to 12. But the hour hand is no longer pointing at 12. The hour hand does not stay at 12 from 12:00 to 12:59 and then jump through 30 degrees at 1 o'clock. By 12:15, the hour hand has moved 7.5 degrees (clockwise) so at 12.15 the angle is 90-7.5 = 82.5 degrees.
How are the minute hand and hour hand the same?
The minute hand and hour hand both move clockwise to mark time and are in the same position at 12 noon or midnight.
What time is it when the hour hand and the minute hand are both pointing to the same number?
12:00! It depends what number they are both pointing to.
What angle describes both gibbous phases?
Think of an old analog clock. The center is the Earth; the big hand is pointing to the Sun. (The hour hand is running backwards!)At 10:00, the hour hand is pointing at the Moon in the "waxing gibbous" phase.
If the hour hand on the clock is pointing in the middle of 5 and 6 and the minute hand is pointing at 4 then what time does the clock show?
the answer is 5:20
What time is it when the hour hand is little past the 3 and the minute hand is pointing to the 3?
3:15
What do the numbers around the face of a watch mean?
The numbers around the face of a watch indicate the hour and minutes of time depending on which hands of the watch are pointing to which numbers. The short hand points to hours and the long hand points to minutes. If the long hand is pointing to 6 and the short hand is pointing to 3 = 3:30 If the short hand is pointing to 6 and the long hand is pointing to 3 = 6:15
What time is when the minute hand is pointing to the 3 and the hour hand is a little past 3?

What angle is formed by the hand of the clock at 420?
10°, on a standard 12-hour clock. The minute hand is pointing at the 4, but the hour hand has advanced by 1/3 of an hour, which is 1/36 of a full circle, or 10°.
What is the angle when time is 11.20?
At 11:20 the hour hand is pointing to 1/3 of an hour after 11, which is 20 degrees before 12. The minute hand is pointing at 120 degrees after 12. So the angle between the two is 120+20 = 140 degrees.
If the minute hand is pointing to the twelve and the hour hand is perpendicular to the minute hand what two times could it be?
It could be four times per day: 9 AM, 9 PM, 3 AM, and 3 PM. Note: The question as stated is false and would likely cause controversy if it was on an important exam. The question should be "If the minute hand is pointing to the twelve and the hour hand is perpendicular to the minute hand, what times could it be?"
