The minute hand on a clock is 6" long, how far does it move in 25 minutes?
The answer I show in the solutions manuel shows
150degrees = 5pie over 6, divide by 6 = 5pie = 15.71 inches

Thanks

Answer by longjonsilver(2297) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
25 minutes is (25/60)ths of a complete circle.
and a circle is 360 degrees... or radians. THIS IS ALL YOU SHOULD REMEMBER! Forget any formula that a book gives you.
So...
(25/60) of 360 is 150 degrees and in radians
(25/60) of is radians
is that any clearer?
