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.

PLEASE HELP!!!
igomit [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(p + 4) = 3 - 3p + 1p.....combine like terms

-2(p + 4) = 3 - 2p...distribute the -2 through the parenthesis

-2p - 8 = 3 - 2p

-2p + 2p = 3 + 8

0 = 11 <==== no solution

if it is a false statement, it has no solutions

if it ends like : 6 = 6 or -2 = -2, then there is infinite solutions

if it ends like : x = 8 or x = -5, then there is 1 solution

Factor 24x-40 using GCF
posledela

Answer:

8(3x-5)

8 is the GCF of 24 and 40 so you write 8 and in brackets you put your terms after you divide by 8 so you get 3x and -5 so it is written as 8(3x-5)
