What is the angle of the minute and hour hands at 8 o’clock?

The watch dial is a circle (360 °), it is divided into 12 sections (for each hour). There are 4 sections between the minute and hour hands at 8 o’clock. First, we find what one section is equal to (in degrees). To do this, divide 360 by 12, we get 30. Now, to find the angle between the arrows 30, we multiply by 4 (since there are 4 sections between the arrows), we get 120. So at 8:00 the arrows form an angle of 120 °.
