1 answer:

7 0

Divide to see how many laps he can swim in one minute, then multiply that by 3 1/2 to see how many laps he can swim in 3 1/2 minutes.

$\sf\dfrac{1}{3}\div\dfrac{1}{6}$

You can multiply by the reciprocal.

$\sf\dfrac{1}{3}\times\dfrac{6}{1}$

$\sf\dfrac{6}{3}$

$\sf 2$

A ceiling fan with 16-in. blades rotates at 45 rpm.

Kobotan [32]

A. We're told the fan completes 45 full revolutions every minute. One full revolution is $2\pi\,\mathrm{rad}$ , so the fan has an angular speed of

$\dfrac{2\pi\,\mathrm{rad}}{1\,\mathrm{rev}}\cdot\dfrac{45\,\mathrm{rev}}{\mathrm{min}}=90\pi\dfrac{\rm{rad}}{\rm{min}}$

B. Throughout one full revolution of the fan, a point at the tip of one of the fan's blades travels the circumference of a circle with radius 16 in. The circumference is then $2\pi(16\,\mathrm{in})=32\pi\,\mathrm{in}$ . This means the linear speed is
