Answer:

17(pi)r/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since neither hand length is known, you can have an answer in terms of one of the hands, but you cannot get just a number.

Let r = the length of the hour hand.

Then, the length of the minute hand is 150% of r = 1.5r.

The minute hand is the radius of the circle drawn by the tip of the minute hand. In 1 hour, the minute hand rotates one full revolution, so the tip of the minute hand moves the circumference of the circle drawn by the tip of the minute hand.

Now we find the circumference of the circle of the tip of the minute hand.

C = 2 * pi * r,

but the radius here is 1.5r, so we get

C_minute_hand =  2 * pi * (1.5)r

C_minute_hand = 3(pi)r

The hour hand rotates a full revolution in 12 hours, so it rotates 1/12 of a revolution in 1 hour. The radius is r.

C_hour_hand = 2 * pi * r * 1/12

C_hour_hand = (pi)r/6

The difference in how much each tip travels is

3(pi)r - (pi)r/6 = (pi)r(3 - 1/6) = 17(pi)r/6

Tony separates a number of paintbrushes, x, into 3 equally sized groups. He claims that this is the same as making a group 1/3 t
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Size of each group = \frac{x}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of paint brushes = x

Since each the three groups are equally sized, to get the number of paintbrushes in a group, we will have to divide the total number of paint brushes by 3

∴ We have, number of paint brushes in a group = \frac{Total number of paintbrushes}{3}\\

= \frac{x}{3}

this is also the same thing as saying \frac{1}{3}×\frac{x}{1}

This shows that the size of the new group is the same as \frac{1}{3} the size of the original group
