Question 1208036: The world's largest Ferris wheel, Ain Dubai, was 787 ft. in diameter, and took 38 min. to rotate. Determine speed (mph.)
Check my calculations, please.
Circumference: 787 * 3.1416 = 2472.43 = 2472 ft.
2472 / 38 = 65.05 = 65 ft. / min.
65 / 88 = .738 mph. (converted ft. / min. to mph.)
Note: The roller coaster opened in Oct. 2021, and closed in April 2024.
