    Approximately = 20.0 inch to the nearest tenth

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are going to calculate this by using the formula of the circle in a way.

    Radius = 6 inches

    Now between 10:25 a. m. and 11:00 a. m, the minute hand moved 35 minutes.

    But there are total of 60 minutes in the clock which makes it a complete circle.

    So 60 minutes = 2π

    35 minutes = ?.

    35 minutes = (35*2π) / 60

    35 minutes = 1.166667π

    So the distance covered by the minute hand = 1.166667π * 6 inches

    = 21.991 inches

    Approximately = 20.0 inch to the nearest tenth
