Question 1191689: In the year 2340, Joanna, who is a spectacular snow-hoverboard rider, charters a
flight to the moon to ride its killer slopes. She is going to try and break the
world-record and complete a 7110◦ rotation. If she is facing due west when she
enters the air off the jump, and she rotates counter-clockwise what direction should
she be facing if she is to break the record?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
i believe she will be facing north when she lands.
this is why i think that.
one complete rotation is 360 degrees.
7110 / 360 = 19.75 rotations.
that's 19 complete rotations and then .75 times another.
19 complete rotations will make her land facing due west again.
that would be at the 180 degree mark (due west is 180 degrees).
.75 * 360 = 270.
because she is rotating counter-clockwise, add 270 to 180 and you get 450 degrees.
subtract 360 from that to get 90 degrees.
90 degrees is due north.
