John's clock is broken. The minute hand rotates around the clock correctly, but the hour hand is stuck in the three o'clock position. Suppose John first looks at the clock when the hands are

aligned and it shows 3:15. He looks at the clock again and sees that the hour and minute hands of the clock form the arms of an angle measuring -145 degrees. How many degrees could the minute
hand have rotated to reach its current position?
