Mitch practices playing the violin every evening for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
What is the positive difference between the total degrees traveled by the minute
hand and the total degrees traveled by the hour hand during Mitch�s practice?
Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest tenth.
:
Change 1 hr 45 min to 1.75 hrs
Each hr the minute hand travels 360 degrees
1.75 * 360 = 630 degrees traveled by the minute hand
:
The hr hand travels 360/12 = 30 degrees each hr
1.75(30) = 52.5 degrees traveled by the hr hand
:
630 - 52.5 = 577.5 degrees
