Find the degree measure of the angle formed by the minute hand and the hour hand when it is 1:27
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Convert minutes to degrees: 360/60 = 6 deg/min
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "27 * 6 = 162 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Convert hours to degrees: 360/12 = 30 deg/hr
\n" ); document.write( "1 o'clock would be 30 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the portion of an hour (in degrees) passed 1 o'clock (30 degrees)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"27%2F60\"*30 = 13.5 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "hour hand would be: 30 + 13.5 = 43.5 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract hour degrees from minute degrees
\n" ); document.write( "162 - 43.5 = 118.5 degrees the angle formed by the two hands
\n" ); document.write( ":
