Algebra.Com's Answer #166977 by drj(1380)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If a wheel travels 1 mile in 1 minute, at a rate of 600 revolutions per minute, what is the diameter of the wheel, in feet? \r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 1. Let d be the diameter of the wheel.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2. Let \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 3. Note 1 mile = 5280 feet\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 4. Then 1 mile = 5280 ft= 600*pi*d since 600 revolutions occur in one minute.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 5. Solving for \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 6. ANSWER: The diameter of the wheel is 2.80 feet.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope the above steps were helpful.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For FREE Step-By-Step videos in Introduction to Algebra, please visit http://www.FreedomUniversity.TV/courses/IntroAlgebra and for Trigonometry visit http://www.FreedomUniversity.TV/courses/Trigonometry.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Good luck in your studies!\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Respectfully, \n" ); document.write( "Dr J \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
