Answer 1

The hour hand on the clock is completely aligned with the base line of the protractor. [1 Mark]

Now, we only have to read the angle shown at the minute hand to find the angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of the clock.
Since the 0${}^{\circ }$ is in the inner side, measure the angle in the inner side. [1 Mark]
The minute hand is at ${120}^{\circ }$. [1 Mark]
Hence, the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand is ${120}^{\circ }$.
