One way to do these problems is to remember that 2*pi is equal to 360 degrees. So 1*pi (or just
pi) is equal to 180 degrees.
.
You were given the expression:
.
%28-5%2Api%29%2F6 radians
.
Substitute 180 degrees for pi and the expression becomes:
.
%28-5%2A180%29%2F6+=+-900%2F6+=+-150 degrees
.
Piece of cake if you think about it!
.
Hope this makes math life easier for you.
