Answer:
9.3 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the radius of the spinner be given below:
Let us assume the same be x
So
We know that
Total area of the sector = one-sixth of the total area of the spinner
Given that
45.1 = 1 ÷ 6 × π × r^2
r^2 = 45.1 × 6 ÷ π
r^2 = 86.1
r = 9.279
= 9.3 inches
900 ÷ 72 = 12.5 minutes
Thus the correct answer is option A .
