Answer: 1/2, 1/2, 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the fraction that the hour hand turns of a clockwise revolution, we have to find how long it is going then divide by 12

Ex. a) 11 - 5 = 6, 6/12 = 1/2 so the hour hand turns by 1/2 of a clockwise revolution

b) 8 - 2 = 6, 6/12 = 1/2 so the hour hand turns by 1/2 of a clockwise revolution

c) For this, we have to convert 1 into 13 as 1 - 10 is a negative number

13 - 10 = 3, 3/12 = 1/4 so the hour hand turns by 1/4 of a clockwise revolution

The answers are :

a) 1/2

b) 1/2

c) 1/4

To find the fraction of a clockwise revolution, take the ratio between hours covered and hours covered in one revolution.

a)

  • Hours covered between 5 and 11 ⇒ 11 - 5 = 6
  • Hours covered in 1 revolution ⇒ 12
  • 6/12 = 1/2

b)

  • Hours covered between 2 and 8 ⇒ 8 - 2 = 6
  • Hours covered in 1 revolution ⇒ 12
  • 6/12 = 1/2

c)

  • Hours covered between 10 and 1 ⇒ 13 - 10 = 3 (∴ <u>12 + 1 = 13)</u>
  • Hours covered in 1 revolution ⇒ 12
  • 3/12 = 1/4

A container contains 12 diesel engines. The company chooses 5 engines at​ random, and will not ship the container if any of the
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:\frac{^{10}C_5}{^{12}C_5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a total of 12 diesel engines

out of which 2 are defective

Company have to choose 5 good engines to ship.

Therefore no of ways in good engines are selected is ^{10}C_5

no of ways in which any 5 engines are selected from a total of 12 engines is

^{12}C_5

Therefore the required probability =\frac{^{10}C_5}{^{12}C_5}

=\frac{7}{22}=0.318

ziro4ka [17]
To answer this question, you can use the values of the unit circle to figure out the angle measurement. Since the cosine is the x value of the circle, we can see that at 45°<span>, the x value is √2/2.
So the missing angle should be 45°</span>

A square rug has an inner square in the center. The side length of the inner square is x inches and the width of the outer regio
Gwar [14]

Answer: area of the outer part of the​ rug= 16 -x²

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Area of a square: Side²

Since the area of the rug including the inner square is:  

Area of the rug = 4² =16 in²

And the area of the inner square is equal to:

Area if the inner square = x²

To obtain the area of the outer part of the rug we have to subtract the area of the inner square to the area of the rug.

Area of the outer part of the rug= 16 -x²

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
