Question 1085004: Can you please help me to fill in the blank?
At the end of a Ferris wheel ride, Sarah has to wait for the operator to manually bring her car to the bottom of the ride. She must travel along an arc of 3pi/8 radians.
The path of Sarah's car will travel exactly ___° on the Ferris wheel to reach the bottom of the ride.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The standard ratio is (180°/pi%2Aradians)

%283pi%2F8%29+radians=%283%2F8+%29%2A180+
%283pi%2F8%29+radians=540%2F8°
%283pi%2F8%29+radians=67.5°

The path of Sarah's car will travel exactly _67.5°_ on the Ferris wheel to reach the bottom of the ride.
