I must assume you meant 251 / 4 (not 25 1/4).

251
-----
  4
====
   -3
-------
     8

can be evaluated by inverting the second fraction and multiplying the result:

251       -8
-----  * -----
   8        3

The 8s cancel, leaving us with -251/3.  Note that -248/3 = -83, so that the magnitue of -251/3 must be a little larger than -83.  

251 divided by 3 is 83 with a remainder of 2:  251/3 = 83 2/3

So -251/3 = -83 2/3 (answer)

let's let p be the original price.

\frac{1}{2} p + 12 = 75
right?
Now you just have to solve from there.

Between 3 P.M and 3:30 P.M., the minute hand of a clock moves 180 degrees. How many degrees does the hour hand move during that
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Between 3 P.M. and 3:30 P.M the hour hand moves 15°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rotation of the minute hand of a clock between 3 P.M. and 3:30 P.M. is from the the 12 hour mark to the 6 hour mark which is half of one complete cycle

One complete cycle of clock rotation = 360° = 12 hours

Therefore, the hour hand rotates 360/12 = 30° for each hour

Given that the time between 3 P.M. and 3:30 P.M. is 30 minutes = 1/2 an hour

The rotation of the hour hand between 3 P.M. and 3:30 P.M = Half the rotation for 1 hour

∴ The rotation of the hour hand between 3 P.M. and 3:30 P.M = 30°/2 = 15°

Between 3 P.M. and 3:30 P.M the hour hand moves 15°.
