8=10-2 or
997=1000-3
so we can use distributive property
remember, a(b+c)=ab+ac
for the first one
8(997)=(10-2)(997)=997(10-2)=997(10)+997(-2)=9970-1994=7976
2nd one
8(997)=8(1000-3)=8(1000)+8(-3)=8000-24=7976
You would do 300• 31/100 to get 90. I’m pretty sure that’s right
The movement of the minute hand is circular.
Tangence speed is V=2Rπ/T= 2*7*3.14/3600 inches/sec=0.012211 inches/sec
The path (distance) that minute hand past is D=V*t = 0.012211 * 5 min= 0.012211 * 300sec=>
D=3.663≈3.66 inches
Good luck!!!
