Question 293023: The tip of the minute hand of a clock is 2 inches from the center of the clock. Find the distance traveled by the tip of the minute hand for the duration of 3 hours.

The radius of the minute hand is 2 inches.
The formula for circumference of a circle is 2Pi*r = 2Pi*3 = 6Pi for your minute hand's rotation.
3 hours is 1/4 of a full rotation, so it will travel:
6Pi/4 = 3Pi/2 inches
