Question

The minute hand of a clock is 6 inches long and moves from 12 to 4 o'clock. How far does the tip of the minute hand move?

Answer 1

If it moves from 12 to 4 o'clock then it moves (20/60) which is the fraction of an hour

(20/60) 37.68

simplify (20/60)

(1/3) 37.68

the answer would be 12.56 inches
