The time is 2:46 PM. What is the measure of the angle that the minute hand swept through since 2:00 PM?
1 answer:
The minute hand has swept through 46 minutes on the clock. You have to set up a ratio to solve this:
You can compare the 60 minutes on a clock to 360 degrees because 60 minutes on a clock is one whole rotation. So then, you cross multiply and simplify:
Therefore, the minute hand has swept through an angle with a measure of 276 degrees.

A easier way to do this question with coming on to brainly. Is add all the positive Integers OR Numbers together and then add all the negative numbers together. Then subtract the negative numbers from the positive. Something like this.
