Question

This helicopter has a rotor that moves at a rate of 600 spins per minute while flying. Which statement is supported by this information

Answer 1

Answer: d. The helicopter rotor will spin 36,000 times in 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A is wrong because in 40 minutes the rotor will spin:

= 40 * 600

= 24,000 times

Option B is wrong because we cannot know the number of times the rotor will spin before being lifted off of the ground with the details given.

Option C is wrong because in 3 hours the rotor will spin:

= 600 * 3 * 60 minutes

= 108,000 times

Option D is correct because in 1 hour the rotor will spin:

= 600 * 1 * 60 mins

= 36,000 times
