Question 7
The time is now 8:00 PM. At the earliest, it will take $A\dfrac BC$ minutes for the hour and minute hands to be equidistant from the number 8. Find $A\div B+C$.
Editorial convention: “equidistant” means equal smaller angular distances from the direction of 8, not distances from the unequal hand tips. Write the time as a mixed number with a positive proper fraction B/C in lowest terms. The source does not state these conventions explicitly.
