movement of the steering wheel?
A. The wheel makes 260 one-degree turns.
B. The wheel makes 360 ten-degree turns.
C. The wheel makes 360 one-degree turns.
D. The wheel makes 360 one hundred-degree turns. (I can NOT go in websites to get the answer and pls give a example on how you did the problem. Thank you)

Answer 1

C. The wheel makes 360 one-degree turns.

Explanation:

A full circle is 360°, that is, there are 360 degrees in a circle.

You can check how many total degrees the steering wheel is turned for each option by multiplying the number of turns by the number of degrees for each turn:

• For A: 260 one-degree turns is (260 turns) × (1 degree per turn) = 260 degrees turned. This is not equal to the given fact that Frank turns a full circle of 360 degrees. So A is not correct.
• For B: 360 ten-degree turns means a total of (360 turns) × (10 degrees per turn) = 3600 degrees turned, which does not equal one turn of 360 degrees. So B is not correct.
• For C: 360 one-degree turns means a total of (360 turns) × (1 degree per turn) = 360 degrees turned, which is one full circle.
• For D: 360 one-hundred degree turns means a total of (360 turns) × (100 degrees per turn) = 36000 degrees turned, which is not 360 degrees. So D is not correct.
