Answer:
The answer to the question is;
The distance the tip of the minute and travels as time progresses from 12:00 to 12:25 is 18.33 in.
Explanation:
To solve the question, we note that
Number of minutes in one complete revolution of the clock = 60
Position travel of the minute hand = 12:00 to 12:25 = 25 minutes
Fraction of complete revolution traveled by minute hand = 25/60
Distance of one complete revolution = Circumference of circle = 2·π·r
Length of minute hand = 7 inches = r
Distance of one complete revolution = 2 × π × 7 = 43.98 in
Distance traveled by minute hand = 25/60×43.98 in = 18.33 in.
