document.write( "Every hour, the hour hand rotates   = 30 degrees.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "In 5 hours, the hour hand rotates 5*30 = 150 degrees.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "40 minutes is    of an hour, so 40 minutes contribute   degrees = 20 degrees.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, the total angle of rotation at 5:40 pm will be 5*30 + 20 = 150+20 = 170 degrees, since noon.\r\n" );
