There are twelve marks on a clock.

There are 360 degrees on a clock face.

How many degrees between marks? Multiply that by 5..............

simple way to look at it is, there is 90 degrees in each 1/4 of the clock. 12 being north, 3 being east, 6 is south, 9 is west.
12 is 0 degrees 1=30 2=60 3=90 4=120 5=150 6=180, and you just add 30 degrees for each hour till you get to 360 which is "0" simple,huh?

First find the angle in degrees and then convert into radians by using the relationship pi radians = 180 degrees. I hope you know how to convert the figures into angles. An example: 3:00 hours is an angle of 90 degrees and will be pi/2 radians. 0:00 will be zero degrees and so zero radians. 2:00 will be 60 degrees and will be approximately 1 radian ( slightly more). pi / 3 radians to be exact.

it's 150 degrees. since 6 o clock would be 180 because it's a straight line,and 3 would be 90, it's easyto say that between the numbers 5 and 6 is 30 degrees. so 180 - 30 = 150 degrees!

150 = 360/12*5

There are 12 divisions on a clock, so each one is 360deg/12. You're asking about 5 divisions so that's

5*360deg/12 = 150deg
