<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>

Answer:

<h2>One solution.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is

<em>Does the following system have One Solution, No Solution, or Infinite Solutions.   </em>

<em />y = 4x + 8\\y = -5x + 3<em />

<em />

<em />

To solve this system, we just need to multiply the first equation by -1, and then sum those equations.

-y = -4x - 8\\y = -5x + 3

0=-9x-5\\5=-9x\\x=-\frac{5}{9}

Then, we use this value to find the other one

y=4x+8\\y=4(-\frac{5}{9} )+8\\y=-\frac{20}{9}+8\\y =\frac{-20+72}{9} \\y=\frac{52}{9}

As you can observe, the system of equations have a unique solution.

Therefore, the answer is one solution.
