Question

An angel measures 51 degrees. Through what fraction of a circle does the angel turn?

Answer 1

Remember, a circle has 360 degrees. Therefore, an angle of 51 degrees would be 51/360 of a circle.

HOWEVER, both the numerator and denominator can be simplified by a factor of 3.

51 / 3 = 17

360 / 3 = 120

Therefore, the final fraction is 17/120.
