Two gears are connected and are rotating simultaneously. The smaller gear has a radius of 3 inches, and the larger gear has a ra

dius of 7 inches.
Part 1: What is the angle measure, in degrees and rounded to the nearest tenth, through which the larger gear has rotated when the smaller gear has made one complete rotation?

Part 2: How many rotations will the smaller gear make during one complete rotation of the larger gear?

Circumference of a circle is C = 2πr.

part 1)

so the radius of the smaller gear is 3 inches, so after a full rotation, namely a revolution, the smaller gear has covered an arc of 2π(3), or 6π.

what angle has the larger gear of 7 inches in radius, has it covered with an arc of 6π?

\bf \textit{arc's length}\\\\
s=r\theta ~~
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
\theta =angle~in\\
\qquad radians\\
------\\
s=6\pi \\
r=7
\end{cases}\implies 6\pi =7\theta \implies \cfrac{6\pi }{7}=\theta



part 2)

since the larger gear has a radius of 7, in a revolution it will have an arc of 2π(7), or 14π.

now, we know the smaller gear does a 6π arc in a revolution, how many revolutions will it do in an arc of 14π?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
arc&revolution\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
6\pi &1\\
14\pi &x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{6\pi }{14\pi }=\cfrac{1}{x}\implies \cfrac{3}{7}=\cfrac{1}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{7}{3}

What percent of a dozen is 3
Margaret [11]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages are one of several ways of describing quantities' relationships to one another. Specifying one number as a percentage of another means specifying the fraction of the second quantity the first comprises. The percentage value is the number that, divided by 100, equals that fraction. To express the percentage as a whole number, round it accordingly. Some applications, however, don't require percentages as exact whole figures.

Divide the first number the second. For instance, if you want to find what percentage 43 is out of 57, divide 43 by 57 to get 0.754386.

Workers have been down the street installing two blinking red lights in front of the fire station. The two lights are always tur
daser333 [38]

Answer:

After 88 seconds, they will blink together.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time after which the first light blinks = 8 seconds

Time after which the second light blinks = 22 seconds

Initially, both the lights blink together.

To find:

The time at which they will blink together again.

Solution:

Let us have a look at the time after which each light will blink.

First light will blink after:

8 s, 16 s, 24 s, 32 s, 40 s, 48 s, 56 s, 64 s, 72 s, 80 s, <em>88 s</em>, 96 s, 104 s, ......

Second light will blink after:

22 s, 44 s, 66 s, <em>88 s</em>, 110 s, .....

It can be seen that common time is 88 second, at which the both will blink together.

So, the answer is <em>88 s.</em>

<em></em>

This answer can also be computed by taking the LCM (Least Common Multiple) of both the numbers i.e. 8 and 22.

Using the factorization method:

8=\underline{2}\times 2\times 2

22=\underline{2}\times 11

Common is 2.

Therefore the LCM will be:

2\times 2\times2\times 11 = \bold{88}

So, the answer is <em>88 s.</em>
