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? \n" ); document.write( "--------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "The 4 rotations can be disregarded as they simply bring the indicator \n" ); document.write( "back to its 170 degree position. \n" ); document.write( "The 0.75 rotation is the deciding factor. \n" ); document.write( "0.75(360) = 270 degrees \n" ); document.write( "So 170 + 270 = 440 degrees \n" ); document.write( "440-360 = 80 degrees \n" ); document.write( "---------------- \n" ); document.write( "The indicator would end up at 80 degrees \n" ); document.write( "============================================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
