Part 1:

The circumference of the smaller circle is...
C = 2*pi*r
C = 2*pi*2
C = 4*pi

The circumference of the larger circle is...
C = 2*pi*r
C = 2*pi*8
C = 16*pi

The ratio of the two circumferences is
16*pi:4*pi = 4:1
which means that for every single full rotation of the larger gear, the smaller gear will complete four rotations

If we flip things around, we will have the ratio 4:1 turn into 1:0.25 (divide both parts by 4). Now this says that for every single rotation of the smaller gear, the larger gear rotates 1/4 or 25% of the larger circle circumference.

1/4 of 360 degrees is 90 degrees

So the larger gear will rotate 90 degrees when the small gear completes a full revolution.

Answer: 90 degrees

=====================================================

Part 2:

This was pretty much answered in part 1 above. The answer here is 4. The circumference of the larger gear is 4 times larger (since the radius is 4 times larger), so the gear ratio here is 4:1.

Answer: 4

Can someone help me with these three questions?

N76 [4]

Answer:

1. =

2. <

3. <

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: When comparing decimals you always place both decimals right above each other.

1 is equal to because once you put a 0 behind the 2.1 they are both the same.

2.10

2.1 <add 0 as space holder

2 is less than because they are both negative you are looking for which one is closest to zero.

-4.5 <add 0 as place holder

-4.25 <closest to zero

3 is less than because $\pi$ (pie) equals 3.141592654 which is less than 3.2.

3.141 <do not need to add whole decimal

3.2 <add two 0's as a placeholder

The ratio of muscisians to actors was 2 to 5. If there were 28 musicians, how many actors were there?

julsineya [31]

2•14=28 which is the musicians

5•14=70 which would be the actors

The ratio would be 28:70

Marisol left Los Angeles at 2:30 to drive to Santa Barbara, a distance of 95 miles. The traffic was heavy until 3:20. She drove

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the speed in heavy traffic and y be the speed in light traffic in miles per hour.

Total distance = 95 miles

Time taken in heavy traffic = 50 minutes = $\frac{5}{6}$ hour

We know that $Distance=speed\times time$

Distance traveled in heavy traffic = $d_1=\frac{5}{6}x$

Time taken in light traffic = 1 hour

Distance traveled in light traffic = $d_2=1\times y=y$

Since, Total distance = 95 miles

$\Rightarrow\ d_1+d_2=95\\\Rightarrow\frac{5}{6}x+y=95\\\Rightarrow\ 5x+6y=570..........(1)$

Also, Her speed in heavy traffic 40 miles per hour slower than her speed in light traffic.

$\Rightarrow\ y-x=40.............(2)$

Multiply this equation by 5 on both sides, we get

$5y-5x=200..................(3)$

Add (3) and (1), we get (5x will be cancelled)

$11y=770\\\Rightarrow\ y=70$

From equation, (2), we get

$70-x=40\\\Rightarrow\ x=30$

Hence, Her speed in heavy traffic is 30 miles per hour and in light traffic is 30 miles per hour.
