<PRE><B>Question 212843</B>
A gear rotates at a rate of 8 rotations per minute. Through how many degrees does it rotate in 2 minutes 15 seconds?
-------
2 min 15 seconds is 2 1/4 or 9/4 minutes.
-------------------
# of rotations is (9/4)*8 = 18 rotations
----
18 rotations = 18*360 = 6480 degrees
