Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

60 minutes is one hour, which is all the way around the outside of the clock one time. This distance is represented by the circumference of a circle, assuming that the clock is in fact circular. The formula for the circumference of a circle in terms of the radius is

$C=2\pi r$

Our radius is 7, so the distance around the outside of that particular clock (and how far the minute hand travels if it goes around the clock one time) is

$C=2\pi (7)$ or

C = 14π

If you want the decimal equivalency for that, multiply in pi as 3.1415 and round to whatever place you need. In decimal form, that is

C = 43.9 inches

10.03 is what percent of 29.5

Maru [420]

Percent formula : is/of = %/100

is = 10.03
of = 29.5
percent = x

now we sub
10.03/29.5 = x/100
this is a proportion, so we must cross multiply
(29.5)(x) = (10.03)(100)
29.5x = 1003
x = 1003/29.5
x = 34 <==== 10.03 is 34% of 29.5

The polynomial 9x^5+36x^4+189x^3 in factored form is $-9 x \times x \times x \times(x-7) \times(x+3)$
