What fraction of a revolution have you turned through if you stand facing
(i) north and turn clockwise to face west?
(ii) south and turn anti-clockwise to face east?
(iii) east and turn clockwise (or anti-clockwise) to face west?
Also find the number of right angles turned in each case.

Answer
One complete revolution = 4 right angles = 360°.
So, revolution = 1 right angle = 90°.
(i) Facing north and turning clockwise to face west:
The sequence is: North → East → South → West.
This is 3 right angles or of a revolution.
∴ Fraction of revolution = and number of right angles = 3.
(ii) Facing south and turning anti-clockwise to face east:
The sequence is: South → East.
This is 1 right angle or of a revolution.
∴ Fraction of revolution = and number of right angles = 1.
(iii) Facing east and turning (clockwise or anti-clockwise) to face west:
This is 2 right angles or of a revolution.
∴ Fraction of revolution = and number of right angles = 2.
