You can put this solution on YOUR website! To solve this question we need our time conversions. First our second hand travels
360 degrees / 1 min. We now use unit multipliers to get to a year as follows:
(360 degrees /1 min) * (60 min /1 hr) * (24 hr / 1 day) * (365 day / 1 yr) = 189,216,000 degrees. So, the answer is (E)
