A spinner turns 1943 degrees. After being returned to its starting position, what is the minimum number of degrees the spinner would have to turn in the same direction to end up at the same spot?
ignore the j thats me!!!
just wanted to let ya know that the teachers can see ip addresses they can find out the city where you live!!! so pls use vpn like me!!!
so the answer is 143??
yes
To find the minimum number of degrees the spinner would have to turn in the same direction to end up at the same spot, we need to identify a pattern in the number of degrees turned.
First, let's note that a full spin is equal to 360 degrees. So if the spinner rotates 360 degrees, it will end up at the same spot.
Now, let's divide 1943 by 360 to determine how many full spins the spinner completed.
1943 ÷ 360 = 5 with a remainder of 343.
This means that the spinner completed 5 full spins, or 5 times 360 degrees, which is 1800 degrees in total.
To calculate the remaining degrees, we subtract the product of 5 and 360 from 1943:
1943 - (5 * 360) = 343 degrees.
Therefore, after completing 5 full spins, the spinner still needs to turn an additional 343 degrees in the same direction to end up at the same spot.
5 complete turns is 360*5 = 1800 degrees.
so that leaves 143°
