How long will it take for the tip of the minute hand to travel 11 feet if the minute hand is 7 inches?

Assuming the length of 7 inches as the radius of a circle that the tip of the minute hand traces around a conventional clock, the tip's speed is one revolution per hour. One revolution, in this case, is a distance of 2*pi*radius (Circumference = 2*pi*r), which would be 14*pi. So the tip is traveling 14*pi inches per hour.
Since you want to know the time taken by the tip to travel a given distance (132 inches - make sure to keep your units consistent!), use the formula Distance = Rate*Tme. Solving for time gives Time = Distance/Rate. The total time is given by the total distance (132 inches) divided by the rate of travel, 14*pi inches per hour. This works out to 132/(14*pi) hrs, which in reduced terms is 66/(7*pi) hrs. In decimal form, this is approximately 3.0012 hrs, which is 3 hrs, 0 mins, 4.35 secs.
