First calculate the circumference. Usually this is the diameter times pi, but since we are told to estimate pi, the circumference equals 56 * 22/7 or 176 feet.
In 4 minutes, 4 * 60 = 240 seconds pass. In this time, a 20 second period will occur 240/20 = 12 times.
So we know that the rider rotates 12 times and each rotation takes them 176 feet, meaning that they will travel 12 * 176 = 2112 feet
The solution is x=3/4
How can we solve given equation?
First, we will solve like terms. Then shift constant to other side and keep x on the same side to get the value of x.
We can solve given equation as shown below:
5/2-3x-5+4x=-7/4
(5-10)/2+x=-7/4
-5/2+x=-7/4
x=5/2-7/4
x= (10-7)/4
x=3/4
Hence, the solution is x=3/4.
