C Correct answer
Explanation

The angle between the hands of a clock is calculated using the formula |30H - 5.5M|. For 8:35, this is |30(8) - 5.5(35)| = |240 - 192.5| = 47.5 degrees.

AI explanation

Using the clock angle formula of 30 times the hour minus 11 divided by 2 times the minutes, we substitute the time 8:35. The calculation is 30(8) - 11/2(35) = 240 - 192.5 = 47.5 degrees. Since this is positive, the angle between the hands is 47.5 degrees.
