Answer 1

Answer:

32 revolutions per minute(rpm)

Step-by-step explanation:

v inversely proportional to t

so if v increases t will decrease and vice versa

inverse equation is xy=k

xy=k

48×20= 960 (revolutions)

then you'll take k(960) and divide it by number of teeth

so..

960/30 = 32 revolutions per minute
