Question

Kiara made one full turn counterclockwise. Mary made two full turns clockwise. How many degrees did Mary turn?

Answer 1

This sounds like there is a little trick here.  The question is only asking about Mary.  This means that you can ignore the first sentence.  Since a circle has 360 degrees.  One turn would be 360 degrees and two turns would be 360*2 or 720 degrees.  

 

I believe that this is one of those times that they put in a lot of additional information that you will never use.  

 

I hope this helps.  Let me know if you have any questions.
