the london eye, a ferris wheel in England, has a diameter of 120 meters. This wheel completes a full rotation in 30 minutes at a
speed which allows passengers to enter a capsule at the base of the Ferris wheel without stopping the wheel. At the highest point, a capsule reaches a height of 135 meters above the ground.
Given in the problem is the diameter of the Ferris Wheel.
Thus, we can compute for the Ferris Wheel Circumference. This is the circular distance a single capsule attached to the wheel needs to do a full circle to.
Using 2 Step, we find the rate of how fast the capsule needs to be moving to complete 1 full cycle in 30 minutes. 1. Formula for computing the circumference C = 2 x π x R
where R = Diameter divided by 2
C = 2π(120/2 ) C = 120π
2. Compute the rate or speed of the capsule / coach. Rate or Speed = Distance to cover / Time it takes to cover R/S = 120π/30 = 4π m/min or 12.57737 meters / min
So you have 318/2580 (since the top is the amount of money they use for food and the bottom is the total). You will want to divide it into 2 so 318/2 and 2580/2. Then you will get 159/1290. The divide 159/1290 with 3. So you will get 52/430. It may seem that you will need to divide 430 with 52 now. Once you get that, you will get the decimal 0.123255814. (I used a calculator). Then Move the decimal twice to the right to make that whole percentage. You will get 12 as you whole number (Ignoring the fact you have 3255814 as your remaining.). So the answer for that is….
