I know that at exactly 1 PM the little hand is
\n" ); document.write( "on 1 and the big hand is on 12. That is an
\n" ); document.write( "angle of \"+%285%2F60%29%2A360+=+30+\" degrees
\n" ); document.write( "( every 5 minutes is 30 degrees )
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Then both hand start to move with the minute
\n" ); document.write( "hand moving faster. The minute hand makes
\n" ); document.write( "a full circle, or 360 degrees when the hour hand
\n" ); document.write( "only goes 30 degrees, so the minute hand
\n" ); document.write( "moves \"+360%2F30+=+12+\" times faster.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "When the minute hand is at 22 minutes, that
\n" ); document.write( "means it has made \"+%2822%2F60%29%2A360+=+132+\"
\n" ); document.write( "degrees of rotation.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "During that time, the little hand has moved
\n" ); document.write( "at 1/12 that speed. \"+%281%2F12%29%2A132+=+11+\" degrees
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract to find the angle between the hands
\n" ); document.write( "\"+132+-+11+=+121+\" degrees
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
