Answer:
50 inches = 4 feet 2 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Jillian has a rope that is 50 inches long. We are asked to write the length of rope in feet and inches.
Since we know that 1 feet equals to 12 inches. So let us find the greatest multiple of 12 from 50.
Multiples of 12 are: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60,...
We can the greatest multiple of 12 in 50 is 48 and 12 times 4 is 48.
Now let us subtract 48 from 50 to find the number of inches.
Therefore, Jillian has a rope that is 4 feet and 2 inches long.

Answer:
It is rotated by 72 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Since it is a regular polygon,
when u connect all the corners of it to the middle of the polygon, they will meet at a point i.e, CENTER.
- The sum of the angles subtended by all the sided at the center will be 360 degrees.
- As there are 60 sides, the angle subtended by each side at the center will be 6 degrees.
Because,
- As the polygon rotates every minute and it is rotated for 12 minutes,
( For every minute, it will be rotated by 6 degrees.
so, for 12 minutes it should be rotated by 12 times 6 ( 12*6) = 72 degrees)
- So, after 12 minutes it will be rotated by 72 degrees.
