If you have not done so you should refer to your figure

showing the positions which are multiples of pi/6.

On your picture you will see that the sequence of angular

positions 2 pi/3, pi, 4 pi/3, 5 pi/3, 2 pi, 7 pi/3 beginning

in the first quadrant and moving through the second, third

and fourth quadrants to the 2 pi position, then pi/3 beyond

that to the 7 pi/3 position. The 7 pi/3 position is

therefore identical to the pi/3 position.

`q009. If the red ant starts at angular position pi/3 and

moves at an angular velocity of pi/4 radians every second

2pi/7, 5pi/6, 3pi/5, 4pi/3, 5pi/7, 11pi/6, 6pi/5 and pi/3.

The angular position changes by pi/4 radians every second.

Starting at angular position pi/3, the angular positions

after successive seconds will be

pi/3 + pi/4,

pi/3 + 2 pi/4,

pi/3 + 3 pi/4,

pi/3 + 4 pi/4,

pi/3 + 5 pi/4,

pi/3 + 6 pi/4,

pi/3 + 7 pi/4 and

pi/3 + 8 pi/4.

These fractions must be added before being reduced to lowest

terms. In each case the fractions are added by changing each

to the common denominator 12. This is illustrated for pi/3 +

3 pi/4:

We first multiply pi/3 by 4/4 and 3 pi/4 by 3/3, obtaining

the fractions 4 pi/12 and 9 pi/12.

So the sum pi/3 + 3 pi/4 becomes 4 pi/12 + 9 pi/12, which is

equal to 13 pi/12.

The fractions add up as follows:

pi/3 + pi/4 = 7 pi/12,

pi/3 + 2 pi/4 = 5 pi/6,

pi/3 + 3 pi/4 = 13 pi/12,

pi/3 + 4 pi/4 = 4 pi/3,

pi/3 + 5 pi/4 = 19 pi/12,

pi/3 + 6 pi/4 = 11 pi/6,

pi/3 + 7 pi/4 = 25 pi/12 and

pi/3 + 8 pi/4 = 14 pi / 3.
