Step-by-step explanation:

The wheel has a diameter of 250 feet, so its circumference is:

C = 2πr = πD

C = 250π feet

It makes one revolution in 30 seconds, or half a minute, so the linear speed of the passenger is:

v = d / t

v = 250π / 0.5

v = 500π ft/min

v ≈ 1571 ft/min

This is about the same as 17.9 mph.
