It takes 12 hours (720 minutes) for hour hand to rotate 360 degrees.Every hour,Every minute, hour hand rotates 360/720 = 0.At beginning of every hour,In 24 minutes,......
How many degrees are in the angle formed by the hands of a clock at 8:24?? And explains pleaseeee

It takes 1 hour (or 60 minutes) for minute hand to rotate 360 degrees.
Every minute, minute hand rotates 360/60 = 6 degrees

It takes 12 hours (720 minutes) for hour hand to rotate 360 degrees.
Every hour, hour hand rotates 360/12 = 30 degrees
Every minute, hour hand rotates 360/720 = 0.5 degrees

--------------------

Let 12 position on clock represent 0 degrees
At beginning of every hour, minute hand is at 0 degrees

In 24 minutes, minute hand has rotated 24 * 6 degrees = 144 degrees

In 8 hours and 24 minutes, hour hand has rotated
8*30 degrees + 24*0.5 degrees = 252 degrees


Angle formed by hands of clock = 252 - 144 = 108 degrees

Hour hand is at (8/12).360 degrees

Minute hand is at (24/60).360 degrees

subtract one from the other
