Question

The hour hand of a clock is 1 feet 6 inches. Find the distance moved by the tip in one hour.

Answer 1

This means, that the radius = 1 feet 6 inches = 18 inches.

Now, do you know how to calculate the circumference? That'd be the distance moved by the tip.

Answer 2

Find the circumference, THAT WILL BE THE CIRCUMFERENCE.

Answer 3

The hour hand would not move the circumference in one hour.

Answer 4

Maybe you should calculate 1/12 the circumference.

thank you very much sir.

Answer 6

Oh wait, yes!

Answer 7

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow {1 \over 12} * 2 * {22 \over 7} * 18 }\)

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow {1 \over 12} * 36 * {22 \over 7} }\)
