Well, Brandon, break it apart. This is about how many times it's turned vs. how many degrees are in a circle. How do we decide how many times it's turned? How do we figure out how many degrees that is?

Brandon, how many degrees are there in 2 rotations? Did you figure that out by multiplying or dividing by 360??
