Question 558836: Wayne left track practice at 4:52. It took him 6 min. to get home and 2/5 hr. to eat a snack. Before starting his math team homework, he glanced at his watch and, of course, calculated the measure of the smallest angle formed by the hour and minute hands. What was the measure?
Please explain. Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let practice --4.52
6 minutes to reach home
reaches at 4 58
2/5 hour for snack
2/5 of 60 = 12 minutes
add 12 minutes
4:56 +00:12
=5:10
the hands are separated by 15 divisions
1 division = 6 deg
so 15 divisions = 15 * 6 = 90 degrees
