How many degrees does the hour hand of a clock turn in 5 minutes?

##360/144 = 2.5^@##

Each hour is ##1/12## of a complete circle for the hour hand (on a standard ##12## hour clock).

##5## minutes is ##1/12## of an hour.

So in ##5## minutes, the hour hand moves ##1/12*1/12 = 1/144## of a complete circle.

A complete circle is ##360^@##, so this is ##360/144 = 2.5^@##
