Explanation
Explanation
Picture a clock face divided into 12 equal parts, each part being 360° ÷ 12 = 30°. At exactly 3 o'clock, the minute hand points at 12 and the hour hand points at 3. That's a gap of 3 divisions, so the angle is 3 × 30° = 90°, option (1).
PRO TIP
Re-check your working by substituting the answer back into the original question.
