    It moves 14.66 in.

    Explanation:

    The distance around an entire clock is the circumference of a circle. Circumference is given by the formula C = π * d.

    Since the minute hand is 4 inches, this is the radius; the diameter would be 4*2=8.

    The circumference would then be C=3.14*8 = 25.12 inches.

    A clock is broken into 60 minutes; 35 minutes is the fraction 35/60. Multiply this by the circumference of the entire clock: 25.12 (35/60) = 14.66.
