Here we will explain, calculate, and show you what fraction of a circle 150 degrees is. More specifically, if you draw two lines from the center of a circle, creating 150 degrees, what will the area between the lines be as a fraction of the whole circle?
A full turn on a circle is 360 degrees. Therefore, to calculate what fraction of a circle any number of degrees is, you can simply put the number of degrees over 360.
When we put 150 over 360 and simplify if necessary, we get the answer to "What fraction of a circle is 150 degrees?" as follows:
degrees/360 = fraction
150/360 = 5/12
150 degrees = 5/12
Below is an illustration showing you what 150 degrees and 5/12 of a circle looks like.
To create the illustration above showing you 150 degrees, we first drew a circle and then drew two lines from the center, separated by 150 degrees. The slice that the two lines create inside the circle is 5/12 of the circle.
