I've forgotten the exponent rules for exponent operations, but one way to do this is to find the value of the expression given (2^-5 * 2^7)^-3 (which is equal to 0.015625) using a calculator, then use your calculator to find which answer choice is equal to the expression given AKA 0.015625. I did this and got A, but you should probably still look up exponent rules for future reference. Trust me, this question is actually WAY easier than what it probably looks like to you, as long as you know the exponent rules. :)
Given that the minute hand is at exactly 12hrs there is a difference of 5 hours in between so you multiply 5over 12 by 360degrees and you get 180degrees
