draw a circle or even a clock without the hands,
if you put the hands at 12 and 3 that gives you a 90 degree angle
so looking at the 1, 2 ,3. its 30 degrees to get from 12 to 1, +30 more to 2, +30 more to get to 3. 30+30+30=90
so if every number tick represents 30 degrees then starting from 1 to 6 is 150 degrees. 2 ways to look at it 180-30=150 or 30+30+30+30+30=150
as for 220pm every number on the clock indicates a 5 minute mark and every 5 minut mar is 30 degrees. 10 minutes gets to the number 2 so 20-10=10mins 10/5=2(30) degrees which is 60 degrees. or simply draw it on your circle count the 2 ticks so 30+30=60
