<u> 359.905 degrees</u> is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

when it comes to the hour hand it moves about 360 degrees in a 12 hour clock for instance let us take the time 6:15 then the calculation is

=(6+15/60) * 360÷12

= 187.5 degrees.

when it comes to the minute hand the minute hand travels 360 degrees for every 60 minutes in a 12 hour clock so if it is 5 mins past in the time 6:05 then it can be given as

15/60 * 360 = 90 degrees

Difference between the two hand can be  calculated by

(Angle turned by the hour hand) - (Angle turned by the minute hand)

<u>For a smaller angle let us take 12:01 </u>

= (12+1/60) * 360÷12

=360.5

for the minute hand

=1/60 = 0.595

(Angle turned by the hour hand) - (Angle turned by the minute hand)

= 360.5 - 0.595

=<u> 359.905 degrees</u>

2x^2 - x - 6 = 0

(2x - 3) (x + 2) = 0

2x - 3 = 0

2x = 3

x =  \frac{3}{2}

x + 2 = 0

x = -2

x =  \frac{3}{2} , 2

Ahat [919]

Answer:

2 29/36

Step-by-step explanation:

So circle the two signs., so the problem is now this:

1/4+4/3+1 2/9

Then you find the GCM, or Greatest Common Denominator.

It is 36. Then, you re-write the new answers

9/36+ 48/36+ 1 18/36

Now we have this:

1 65/36

The answer is 2 29/36
