Circumference of a circle = diameter * pi
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Circumference of Ferris wheel = \"80pi\" = 251.33 feet
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Convert 251.33 feet to miles. There are 5280 feet in one mile.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"251.33%2F5280\" = 0.0476. The circumference of the Ferris wheel is 0.0476 miles.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Convert 90 seconds to hours. There are 3600 seconds in one hour.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"90%2F3600\" = 0.025. The Ferris wheel takes 0.025 hours to complete one circle.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Rate = \"Distance%2FTime\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Rate = \"0.0476%2F0.025\" = 1.904 miles per hour
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
