Answer

Correct Answer: 215 degrees

Explanation

The total angle traced by the hour hand is the angle traced in 7 hours and 10 minutes. We know that the angle traced by the hour hand in one hour is 30º and in one minute is 1/2º. Therefore, (30º x 7) + (10 x 1/2º) = 215º is the angle traced by the hour hand.
