So circumference is the distance around the wheel
that is the part that is actually touching the ground
so therefor the wheele travels 3 inches per rotations
5 rotations per minute
we have to find the distance
3 times (number of roations) times 1 minute=3 times 5 times 1=15
answer is 15 in per miute
I=15
there are 12 inches in 1 foot, so 6 inches is really just half a foot, thus 3'6" is really just 3.5' or 3½ feet.
now, let's convert those mixed fractions to improper fractions and then subtract, bearing in mind our LCD will be 8.
![\bf \stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{5}{8}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 8+5}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{45}{8}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{45}{8}-\cfrac{7}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the LCD of 8}}{\cfrac{(1)45~~-~~(4)7}{8}}\implies \cfrac{45-28}{8}\implies \cfrac{17}{8}\implies 2\frac{1}{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cstackrel%7Bmixed%7D%7B4%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B8%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B4%5Ccdot%208%2B5%7D%7B8%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7Bimproper%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B45%7D%7B8%7D%7D~%5Chfill%20%5Cstackrel%7Bmixed%7D%7B3%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B3%5Ccdot%202%2B1%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7Bimproper%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B7%7D%7B2%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20~%5Cdotfill%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Ccfrac%7B45%7D%7B8%7D-%5Ccfrac%7B7%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Busing%20the%20LCD%20of%208%7D%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B%281%2945~~-~~%284%297%7D%7B8%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B45-28%7D%7B8%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B17%7D%7B8%7D%5Cimplies%202%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B8%7D)
Alright! When you have a constant to a power times another constant to a power (ex. [x^3 times x^3] ) you simply add the powers and keep the base [x^6]. When you have a power to a power (ex. [(12^3)^3] ) you multiply the powers and keep the base [12^9]. When you have a constant to a power divided by a constant to a power (ex. [ x^2 divided by x^5] ) you subtract the powers and keep the base. It's hard to see the questions, so I'll leave this here for you to use as a guide.
It will be d cause all you doing is rearranging everything
