Notice, you've got a diameter in inches
and a linear velocity in miles
thus, you'd need to convert first

\bf v=rw\implies \cfrac{v}{r}=w\qquad 
\begin{cases}
v=\textit{linear speed}\\
r=radius\\
w=\textit{angular speed}\\
 --------------\\
v=20\frac{mi}{h}\\
r=\frac{diameter}{2}=\frac{27}{2}
\end{cases}
\\\\
\textit{now, converting 20miles to inches}
\\\\
\cfrac{20mi}{h}\cdot \cfrac{5280ft}{mi}\cdot \cfrac{12in}{ft}\implies \cfrac{20\cdot 5280\cdot 12\ in}{h}\impliedby v
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1267200\frac{in}{h}}{\frac{27}{2}in}=w

now, whatever that is, you'll need to divide it by a revolution, recall, a revolution is 2\pi
thus \bf \cfrac{\qquad \boxed{\cfrac{1267200\frac{in}{h}}{\frac{27}{2}in}}\qquad }{2\pi }=revolutions

Data:
Speed = 20 miles/hour \stackrel{converting}{\rightarrow} 352 inches/sec
diameter of wheel (<span>length) = 27 inches

Solving:
</span><span>Dividing the initial speed of 352 inches per second by the length of 27 inches we have:
</span>\frac{352\diagup\!\!\!\!\!in/sec}{27\diagup\!\!\!\!\!in} \approx 13.037\:revolutions\:per\:seconds

<span>Turning revolutions per second into revolutions per minute, we have:
</span>

revolutions per second_____revolutions per minute
1 \stackrel{converting}{\longrightarrow} 60
13.037 \stackrel{converting}{\longrightarrow} y

\frac{1}{13.037} =  \frac{60}{y}
multiply cross
1*y = 13.037*60
y = 782.22\to\:\boxed{\boxed{y\approx782\:revolutions\:per\:minute}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

A company has 31 salespeople. A board member at the company asks for a list of the top 4 salespeople, ranked in order of effecti
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

31465 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let us apply the combination formula

nCr = n! / r! * (n - r)!

n= 31

r= 4

substitute

= 31!/4!(31-4)!

= 31!/4!(27)!

= 31*30*29*28*27!/ 4!(27)!

= 31*30*29*28/4!

=31*30*29*28/4*3*2*1

=755160/24

=31465 ways

Hence there are 31465 possible ways to rank it

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Input 0 and Output -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why is that we know that -4 has a output of -18 which -3 has a output of -15 meaning each time x increases by 1 the output increases by 3. 1:3 ratio basically so since we know this the starting value should be
