Answer 1

Answer:

The larger wheel is 10979.04098 more than the smaller wheel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The circumference of the great wheel was twelve thousand and forty-one thousandth inches.

C = 12000.041 inches

The circumference of the lesser wheel was only one thousand twenty-one and two hundred-thousand inches.

C' = 1021.00002 inches

We need to find how much larger was the great wheel. To find it, take the difference of C and C'.

C-C' = 12000.041 inches - 1021.00002 inches

= 10979.04098 inches

Hence, the larger wheel is 10979.04098 more than the smaller wheel.
