I'm sorry again... I am really having diffilculty doing word problems as you can tell
Consider a regular 12 hour clock, and measure time in hours starting from noon. Let 'm' denote the angle that the minute hand makes with the top position (12). Similarly, let 'h' be the angle that the hour hand makes with the vertical position. In this case, suppose we measure the angle clockwise, so that the angles involved are positive.
At 2:30pm we have
'h'= ________ degrees.
At that time the minute hand has completed two and half rotations, and so the angle
'm'= _________ degrees. (Enter a number between 720 and 1080.)
In general, at time (expressed in hours so that e.g. 2:30 is 2.5 hours)
'h'= _______ degrees, and
'm'= ________ degrees.
There is a time 't' between '2' and '3' pm at which the minute hand is on top of the hour hand. At that time the hour hand forms an angle 'x' of ______ degrees with the vertical.
