How far does the tip of the minute hand of a clock move in 175 minutes if the hand is 4.8 inches long?
:
Find how many times the minutes hand makes it around the clock in 175 min
175%2F60 = 2.9167 times
:
Multiply this by the circumference of the clock assuming the radius is 4.8"
2.9167 * 2%2Api%2A4.8 = 87.96 inches in 175 min
