    The hour hand advances 1/2° per minute, and the minute hand advances 6° per minute. At time t minutes after the 7:00 hour, the hour hand will be at 210° + (t/2)°, and the minute hand will be at (6t)°. These will differ by 54° when
      210° + (t/2)° + 54° = (6t)°
      264 = 5.5*t
      264/5.5 = t = 48
    The time will be 7:48.
