Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the speed would be given by the garbage collection / hour, therefore the two together, that is to say from the sum of both, would be 1/6 the speed and for the small truck it would be 1/24

So to calculate the speed of the big truck it would be:

1/24 + 1 / x = 1/6

1 / x = 1/6 - 1/24

1 / x = 0.125

x = 1 / 0.125

x = 8

Which means that only the big truck would take only 8 hours

Find the angle between the hands of a clock at 5:15<br><br> A 60<br> B 67.5<br> C 75
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Option B is correct.

67.5 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the angle between the hands of a clock.

Given that:

Hands of a clock at 5 : 15.

We know that:

A clock is a circle and it always contains 360 degree.

Since, there are 60 minutes on a clock.

\frac{360^{\circ}}{60 minutes} = 6^{\circ} per minutes

so,  each minute is 6 degree.

The minutes hand on the clock will point at 15 minute,

then, its position on the clock is:

(15) \cdot 6^{\circ} = 90^{\circ}

Also, there are 12 hours on the clock

⇒Each hour is 30 degree.

Now, can calculate where the hour hand at 5:00 clock.

⇒5 \cdot 30 =150^{\circ}

Since, the hours hand is between 5 and 6 and we are looking for 5:15 then :

15 minutes is equal to \frac{1}{4} of an hour

⇒150+\frac{1}{4}(30) = 150+7.5 = 157.5^{\circ}

Then the angle between two hands of clock:

⇒\theta = 150.75 -90 = 67.5^{\circ}

Therefore, the angle between the hands of a clock at 5: 15 is: 67.5 degree.
