A clock is a circle which is 360 degrees.
There are 12 hours -----> 360/12 = 30 degrees.
Going clockwise, add 30 degrees for every hour the hour hand is at.
There are 60 minutes -----> 360/60 = 6 degrees.
Add 6 degrees for every minute the minute hand is at.
Find position of both hour hand and minute hand, then take the difference.
Time is 5:15.
Hour hand is at 5 plus 15/60 or 5.25.
Multiply by 30. 30*5.25 = 157.5
Minute hand is at 15.
Multiply by 6. 15*6 = 90
157.5 - 90 = 67.5 degrees.

The measure of the smaller angle formed by the hands of a clock at the following time of 5:15 is; 67.5°
Clock Hands Angle
A clock is basically a circle with a total angle of 360°.
In a clock, there are 12 total hours and so;
Degree per hour = 360/12 = 30°
For every one hour the angle 30° will be added (both hands).
Now, as the same 15 minutes as 1/4 hour (for the hour hand) will yield = (30/4) = 7.5°
Therefore at the time of 5.15 hours, the hands angle is;
(30 * 5) + 7.5 = 157.5°
For the minute hand, we know that 15 minutes angle is 90°.
Thus;
Angle between both hands = hour hands angle - minute hands angle
Angle between both hands = 157.5° - 90° = 67.5°
