Algebra.Com's Answer #396470 by josmiceli(19441)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! I know that at exactly 1 PM the little hand is \n" ); document.write( "on 1 and the big hand is on 12. That is an \n" ); document.write( "angle of \n" ); document.write( "( every 5 minutes is 30 degrees ) \n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Then both hand start to move with the minute \n" ); document.write( "hand moving faster. The minute hand makes \n" ); document.write( "a full circle, or 360 degrees when the hour hand \n" ); document.write( "only goes 30 degrees, so the minute hand \n" ); document.write( "moves \n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "When the minute hand is at 22 minutes, that \n" ); document.write( "means it has made \n" ); document.write( "degrees of rotation. \n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "During that time, the little hand has moved \n" ); document.write( "at 1/12 that speed. \n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Subtract to find the angle between the hands \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
