What is the smaller angle between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock at 4:30?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 45 degrees
- Step 1: The minute hand at 30 minutes is at 180 degrees; the hour hand at 4:30 is at 4.5 x 30 = 135 degrees. Step 2. The difference is 180 - 135 = 45 degrees. Answer: 45 degrees. Why not the others: The hour hand sits halfway between 4 and 5, so one hour mark of 30 degrees is not the difference.
