Question 7:
A bicycle wheel makes four and a half turns. Find the number of right angles through which it turns.
Answer:
In one turn, the wheel of a bicycle covers 360˚.
If we express 360˚ in right angles, we get:
= 4 right angles
Thus, in four and a half turns, the wheel will turn by (4 × 4.5) = 18 right angles

Question 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?
Answer:
The time interval between 8:00 O'clock and 10:30 O'clock is 2.5 hours, i.e., two and a half hours.
In 1 hour, the minute hand turns by a complete angle, i.e., 360˚ or 360˚/90˚ = 4 right angles.
Thus, in 2.5 hours, the minute hand will turn by 2.5 × 4 = 10 right angles.
