Answer:
Part A) Circumference
Part B)
Part C) The distance traveled in one rotation is 628.32 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A) we know that
The distance around the circle is equal to the circumference.
The Ferris Wheel have a circular shape
so
To find out the distance around the Ferris Wheel you should use the circumference
Part B) What is the formula needed to solve this problem?
we know that
The circumference is equal to multiply the number π by the diameter of the circle
so
Part C) What is the distance traveled in one rotation?
we know that
One rotation subtends a central angle of 360 degrees
The distance traveled in one rotation is the same that the circumference of the Ferris wheel
we have
----> diameter of the Ferris wheel
substitute in the formula of circumference
assume
therefore
The distance traveled in one rotation is 628.32 feet
We have to simplify %
This is a mixed fraction, with 56 as the whole number part and as the fractional part
Such a fraction can be simplified as:
Denominator of simplified fraction = Denominator of mixed fraction
and Numerator of simplified fraction = (Denominator of mixed fraction × Whole number) + (Numerator of simplified fraction)
⇒ Denominator of simplified fraction = 4
and Numerator of simplified fraction = (4 × 56) + (1)
⇒ Numerator of simplified fraction = 225
Hence, the mixed fraction in its simplest form is
