5. (20 points) Determine the angle between the hour and minute hands at the moment when they show 15 hours and 40 minutes.
Answer: $130^{\circ}$.

Solution. The minute hand has moved away from twelve by $\frac{40}{60} \cdot 360=240^{\circ}$. The hour hand has moved away from twelve by $\frac{3}{12} \cdot 360+\frac{40}{60} \cdot \frac{1}{12} \cdot 360=110^{\circ}$. The angle between the hands: $240^{\circ}-110^{\circ}=130^{\circ}$.
