Type your answer here... At 3:15, the hours hand is not pointing at "3". It would have moved forward and is somewhere between 3 and 4.
In 12 hrs, the hours hand completes 360 degrees i.e. one full circle.
Therefore, in 15 mins (1/4 hr), the hours hand would have moved
(1/4) * (360/12) = 7.5 degrees. (In this example, the hours hand is 7.5 degrees from "3")
The minutes hand at 3:15 is ponting at "3" on the clock. Therefore, the angle between the hands of a clock at 3:15 is 7.5 degrees.
