So there are two hands hour hand and minute hand.......
some info
1) minute hand -
Total 60 min and 360° so each minute =$$\frac{360}{60}=6$$°
Since minute hand is at 12, it makes 0° with the 12 O'clock
2) hour hand
It moves 360 in 12h as the hour hand completes 1 circle in 12 hour, so $$\frac{360}{12}=30$$° in 1 hour
If it moves 30° in 1 hour, it will move $$30*5=150$$° in 5 hour..

Also angle between 12( minute hand) and 5( hour hand) = $$360*\frac{5}{12}=150$$
