Given:

A Ferris wheel makes 1 revolution per minute, n = 1 rpm

so, the angular speed :

\omega=\frac{2\pi\cdot n}{60}=\frac{2\pi\cdot1}{60}=\frac{\pi}{30}

The linear speed of the seats on the rim of the wheel is 2.14 mph

so,

\begin{gathered} v=\omega\cdot r \\  \end{gathered}

convert from mph to ft/sec

hour = 3600 sec

mile = 5280 ft

so,

2.14\frac{mile}{hour}=2.14\cdot\frac{5280}{3600}\frac{ft}{\sec}=\frac{1177}{375}\frac{ft}{\sec }

so,

\begin{gathered} \frac{1177}{375}=\frac{\pi}{30}\cdot r \\  \\ r=\frac{30\cdot1177}{375\pi}=29.97 \end{gathered}

So, the answer To the nearest foot is r = 30 ft

-1/3+4+2/3 what is the answer plz and thank you
koban [17]
Hi there!

-  \frac{1}{3}  + 4 +  \frac{2}{3}  =
First we rearrange the sum in order to add both of the fractions first. We can rearrange because the only thing we need to do is adding.

-  \frac{1}{3}  +  \frac{2}{3}  + 4 =
Add the fractions.
** If you don't get this, think of this story: you lack 1/3 of an apple pie and someone gives you 2/3 of pie. How much pie do you have left?
- 1 / 3 + 2 / 3 = 1 / 3 **

\frac{1}{3}  + 4 =
Finally add 4 to our found fraction.

\boxed{ 4\frac{1}{3} }
Therefore, the answer is 4 1/3.
