Algebra.Com's Answer #233008 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A point on the outer edge of a wheel is 2.5 feet from the axis of rotation. If the wheel spins at a full rate of 2,640 revolutions per minute, how many miles will the point on the outer edge of the wheel travel in one hour? \n" ); document.write( "A 75pi b 100pi c 112pi d 120pi e 150pi \n" ); document.write( "------------------ \n" ); document.write( "The point travels 5pi feet per revolution. \n" ); document.write( "In one hour, the wheel will make 2640 rev/min * 60 min/hr = 158400 revs \n" ); document.write( "The distance = 5pi*158400/5280 \n" ); document.write( "= 150pi miles \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
