Question

SOCCER PRACTICE BEGAN AT 2:30 P.M 3:30 P.M THROUGH WHAT FRACTION OF A CIRCLE DID THE MINUTE HAND TURN HOW MANY DEGREES DID THE MINUTE HAND TURN

Answer 1

Answer:

1 /1 ; 360°

Step-by-step explanation:

Start time = 2:30 pm

Stop time = 3:30 pm

Minute hand makes a complete revolution per hour ;

This means that the minutes hand revolves round the whole circle in one hour, hence fraction of the circle covered by the minute hand between 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm is 1/1 = 1

The angle turned by the minutes hand :

1 complete revolution = 360°

A circle covers 360°

1 /1 fraction of a circle = 1/1 * 360° = 360°

Hence, angle turned by the minute hand = 360°
