7. A bicycle wheel makes four and a half turns. Find the number of
right angles through which it turns.
Solution:
We know that the wheel of a bicycle covers 360o in one turn.
It can be written as
360
= 4 right angles
90

We know that in four and half turns the wheel turns by 4 (4.5) = 18 right
angles
Hence, the number of right angles through which it turns is 18.
8. Look at your watch face. Through how many right angles does
the minute-hand moves between 8: 00 O’ clock and 10: 30 O’ clock?

clock is two and half hours
The minute hand turns 360o in 1 hour
360
= 4 right angles
90

T IO S

pair of adjacent spokes.

Solution:
C

The central angle in a bicycle is 360o which consists 48 spokes.

360
So the angle between a pair of adjacent spokes = = 7.5o
48

Hence, the angle between a pair of adjacent spokes is 7.5o.
