Question

kim gets on a ferris wheel at the bottom of the ride. the wheel rotates \\(\frac{11}{12}\\) of a whole turn and then stops to let another rider on. how far has kim rotated around the ferris wheel?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall a whole turn in degrees

A whole turn (full rotation) is $360^\circ$.

Step2: Calculate the rotation angle

To find the angle of rotation, multiply the fraction of the turn ($\frac{11}{12}$) by the measure of a whole turn ($360^\circ$). So, $\frac{11}{12} \times 360^\circ$. First, simplify $360 \div 12 = 30$, then $30 \times 11 = 330$. So the angle is $330^\circ$.

Answer:

$330^\circ$
