The big hand tells you how many minutes. If the big hand is on 11, you multiply it by 5. 11x5 is 55. If the small hand is near the 2, then that means it is 1:55 or 5 minutes to 2. Notice that the small hand is before the 2 and not on it.

What is the angle of the clock in 22215 pm if its hour hand is 5cm and minute hand is 4cm?

22215 pm is not a correct time, what time do you mean? The angle between the hands, if that is what you mean by 'the angle of the clock', does not depend on the length of the hands, so why have you given them? Please make the question clear and resubmit.

What is 5 to 6 as a digital time?

'Five to Six' ??? There are two points in the day , when this time is recorded. In the morning it is 5:55 am , that is it is five minutes to six o'clock. Similarly in the evening it is 5:55 pm that is it is five minutes to six o'clock. 'am/pm' are the initials of the Latin phrase ' ante/post meridian ' meaning ' before/after noon'. 'Six o' clock' is a corruption of the English language for 'six hours of the clock'. Originally, analogue clocks were made to show only 12 hours at a time. On an analogue clock 'six o'clock' would have the large finger/hand pointing to '12'. and the small finger/hand pointing to '6'. At 'five to six', the large finger/hand would point to '11' meaning that there are 5 minutes to the 'hour(12) of the 'clock'. The small finger/hand would point almost to '6'. On the analogue clock , between each number , there are five small divisions, that indicate minutes. There are 60 of these divisions in one full dial of the clock-face. The numbers refer to the hour of time. The numbers can be in Arabic(modern), Roman or Symbol form.
