150 degrees

Explanation:

Since a clock is circular shaped, the clock hands can move a maximum of 360 degrees in one revolution. There are 12 hours on a clock in total. The hand moves 5 hours in total from 11 to 4. With this information, you can set up a proportion to solve the question.
#5/12=x/360#
