The circumference of a circle with radius 6 inches is 12π inches. 15 minutes is 1/4 of the circle which is 60 minutes Therefore the tip moves 1/4 of 12π = 3π inches In 25 minutes the tip moves (25/60)12π = 5π inches Yes, you can also use the formula s = rθ θ is the angle of rotation. 15 minutes is equivalent to 90 degrees or π/2 radians Therefore s = 6 inches(π/2) = 3π inches 25 minutes is equivalent to 25/60 x 360 degrees = 150 degrees = 5π/6 radians

Answer:

2h-2=92 and h-2=92-h.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hannah, h, is the older sibling and their ages are consecutive odd integers. This means that Anthony's age will be 2 less than Hannah's, or h-2.

The sum of these would be h+(h-2), giving us the equation h+(h-2)=92.

Combining like terms we would have the first correct choice, 2h-2=92.

Our first equation can be transformed, however, to have (h-2) by itself. To do this, we would subtract h from both sides, giving us h-2=92-h.
