Question 430337: word problem:
A double axel is a figure-skating jump in which the skater makes 2.5 revolutions in the air. If a skater is in the air for 0.66s during a double axel, what is her average angular speed to the nearest degree per second?
this is how i solved it, is it right?
2.5 revolutions = 900 degrees
so 900 divided by .66 equals 1364%

2.5 revolutions = 900 degrees
so 900 divided by .66 equals 1364%

900 deg/0.66 sec = 1364 deg/sec
not percent
