\n" ); document.write( "Hour hand degrees per hour: 360/12 = 30 degrees/hr
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "15 min = $\"1%2F4\"$ hr
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "At 9:15 hour hand position: 270 deg + $\"1%2F4\"$ (30) = 277.5 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "360 - 277.5 = 82.5 degrees hr hand travels from 9:15 to 12:00 \n" ); document.write( "
