What is the first time after 4 pm the hr hand will touch the min hand?
4:20. because the hr hand is on the 4 and the long min hand is on the 12, then hte long hand moves until it gets to the4 which represents 20 minutes
actually it's abut 4.22pm
y?
because the hour hand will move a bit also
oh, right...
..so...
Let t be the number of revolutions that the minute hand moves clockwise from the 12 o'clock position. Solve the following equation for t:\[\frac{1}{12}t+\frac{4}{12}= t\]The LHS is the expression which calculates the position of the hour hand. When t = 0 the hour hand is at the 4/12 revolution position (4 o'clock position).The equation solution is:\[t=\frac{4}{11} \text{ revolutions} \]or 04 hr 21 min 49 sec to the nearest second.
hahahah 2 MONTHS aGO!!
