The time difference is 2 hours and 24 minutes
The clock is 360 degrees
There are 12 hour segments on the clock so each segment is 30 degrees (360/12). In two hours the clock moves 2 segments or 60 degrees so now we need to account for 24 minutes. A 360 degree turn by the minute hand equals one hour. 24/60 (24 minutes/60 minutes or one complete turn) = 2/5 of an hour. Each hour = 30 degrees so 2/5*30 = 12 degrees so 72 degrees total.

12 hour = 360
1 hour = 30
60 min = 30
1 min = 1/2 degree

find the total minutes and divide be 2..you will get 72
