I cant figure out this math question. Help?

<p>The minute hand of a clock has a length of L from its point of rotation to the point at the end of the arrow. What is the total distance traveled by the point at the end of the arrow in M minutes?</p>

<p>A. Mπ/ B.LMπ/ C.120LMπ D.2LM E. 30Lπ/
60L 30 M</p>

<p>π=Pi</p>

<p>Need explanation.
Answer is B.</p>

<p>I get the answer (M<em>pi</em>L)/30. where did you find this problem? I cant really tell what the answer B is in your typing because it is so discombobulated :wink: Can you clarify? </p>

<p>P.S. I have found some mistakes in math sections of SAT Prep books and even barrons SAT MAth II.</p>

<p>yup, (2)(pi)(L)(M)/60 = what yaha said. 2πL=circum. and m/60= the minutes as a fraction of the whole 60 minutes. </p>

<p>BEWARE of prep books, mine basically said that </p>

<p>0.625 - 0.600 > 0.750 - 0.6</p>

<p>Sorry, didn’t realize that it came out so misaligned.
(A) Mπ/60L (B) LMπ/30 (C) 120LMπ (D) 2Lπ (E) 30Lπ/M</p>
