Answer:
A clock includes number from 1 to 12 which are equally spaced on circumference of circle.
A complete revolution is 360 degrees
Angle between between two numbers =
12
360
=30 degrees
Hence angle made by hour hand of the clock when it moves from 5 to 7 is 60 degrees which is not more than one right angle.
The angle made by the hour hand of the clock when it moves from 5 to 8 is 90°.
[tex]\frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{4} * 360 = 90[/tex]
