Step 1: Use hour-hand rate 0.5°0.5°/min and minute-hand rate 6°6°/min; angle =∣30H−5.5M∣°=|30H-5.5M|°, adjusted to at most 180°180°.

i) Ten past eleven (H=11,M=10H=11,M=10): ∣330−55∣=275°→360°−275°=85°|330-55|=275°\to360°-275°=85°.

ii) Twenty past seven (H=7,M=20H=7,M=20): ∣210−110∣=100°|210-110|=100°.

iii) Thirty five past one (H=1,M=35H=1,M=35): ∣30−192.5∣=162.5°|30-192.5|=162.5°.

iv) Quarter to six, i.e. 5:455{:}45 (H=5,M=45H=5,M=45): ∣150−247.5∣=97.5°|150-247.5|=97.5°. …
