Divide the clock into $\"+360+\"$ degrees
\n" ); document.write( "In one hour, the hour hand moves
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%285%2F60%29%2A360+=+30+\"$ degrees
\n" ); document.write( "So, it's rate is $\"+30+\"$ degrees/hr
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "In one hr, the minute hand moves $\"+360%2F1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "degrees/hr
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "At exactly 2:00, the hands are $\"+%2810%2F60%29%2A360+=+60+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "degrees apart with the minute hand behind
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "If $\"+t+\"$ = fraction of 1 hr
\n" ); document.write( "The hour hand moves $\"+30t+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The minute hand moves $\"+-60+%2B+360t+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-60+%2B+360t+-+30t+=+204+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+330t+=+264+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+t+=+.8++\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.8%2A60+=+48+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The time would be 2:48
\n" ); document.write( "( definitely get another opinion on
