Answer:

661.4 rpm

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

1 mile=63,360 inches

step 1

Find the circumference of the wheels

C=2\pi rC=2πr

we have

r=30/2=15\ inr=30/2=15 in -----> the radius is half the diameter

substitute

C=2\pi(15)C=2π(15)

C=30\pi\ inC=30π in

assume

\pi =3.14π=3.14

C=30(3.14)=94.2\ inC=30(3.14)=94.2 in

Remember that    

The circumference of the wheels represent one revolution

Convert 59 miles per hour to inches per minute

59\ mi/h=59*63,360/60=62,304\ in/min59 mi/h=59∗63,360/60=62,304 in/min

using proportion find the number of revolutions  

\begin{lgathered}\frac{1}{94.2}\frac{rev}{in}=\frac{x}{62,304}\frac{rev}{in}\\ \\x=62,304/94.2\\ \\x=661.4\ rev\end{lgathered}94.21inrev=62,304xinrevx=62,304/94.2x=661.4 rev

therefore

substitute

62,304\ in/min=661.4\ rev/min=661.4\ rpm62,304 in/min=661.4 rev/min=661.4 rpm

Answer:  661 rpm

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Use the following conversions:

1 revolution = Circumference = 30 π inches

1 mile = 5280 feet

1 foot = 12 inches

1 hour = 60 minutes

\dfrac{59\ mile}{1\ hour}\times \dfrac{1\ revolution}{30\pi \ inches}\times \dfrac{5280\ ft}{1\ mile}\times \dfrac{12\ in}{1\ ft}\times \dfrac{1\ hour}{60\ minutes}\\\\\\=\dfrac{62,304\ revolutions}{30\pi \ min}\\\\\\=\large\boxed{661.0\ revolutions\ per\ minute}

Why is it helpful to write a fraction as a percent
tatyana61 [14]
It usually helps a person to get a better idea of how much or how big something is. I'm actually not sure why, but let's use an example. You got 38 out of 43 questions on a test. when you see 38/43 you don't really know how good that score is, but if you make it a percentage (Dividing the first number by the second to get the percentage) it's 88%. You know you did well on that test.
