Question: What is the angle between the hour and minute hand at 12:30?
Options:
Correct Answer: 165 degrees
Solution:
At 12:30, the hour hand is at 165 degrees (12 hours * 30 degrees + 30 minutes * 0.5 degrees) and the minute hand is at 180 degrees (30 minutes * 6 degrees). The angle between them is |165 - 180| = 15 degrees.
