Question 247058
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


It takes 60 minutes for the hand to go around a 360 degree circle.  2:16 to 2:47 is 31 minutes.  Just set up a proportion:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{31}{60}\ =\ \frac{x}{360}]


You can just solve this by cross-multiplying the way it is, but it is easier arithmetic if you reduce first:



*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 31\ =\ \frac{x}{6}]
