What angle do the minute and hour hands of a clock make at 8:00?

It would make an obtuse angle. I hope this helped ^^

There are 12 sections within the circle of a clock, so we can divide 360 by 12 to get how many degrees each section is.
360/12 = 30
If it's 8:00, we took 4 sections out of 12 total, so it's 1/3 or 30 x 4.
120 degrees is the angle that 8:00 makes.
