The indicator on a circular volume knob is located at 170 degrees. Venuta likes a song that comes on the radio and turns the knob clockwise through 4.75 rotations. What is the new position of the indicator on the volume knob?
---------------------------
The 4 rotations can be disregarded as they simply bring the indicator
back to its 170 degree position.
The 0.75 rotation is the deciding factor.
0.75(360) = 270 degrees
So 170 + 270 = 440 degrees
440-360 = 80 degrees
----------------
The indicator would end up at 80 degrees
