Question

the face of a clock is a circle with 12 equal sections.
a circle has 360°. what is the value of k, the number of degrees in each section of the clock?
a k = 12
b k = 48
c k = 30
d k = 72

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the total degrees in a circle

A circle has \(360^{\circ}\).

Step2: Divide the total degrees by the number of sections

There are 12 equal sections. So, \(k=\frac{360}{12}\).

Step3: Simplify the expression

\(\frac{360}{12} = 30\).

Answer:

C. \(k = 30\)
