ILL GIVE MEDALS: On a Ferris wheel, each ride takes 3 minutes and makes twelve rotations. What is the rate of rotations per minute? 0.25 rpm 3 rpm 4 rpm 36 rpm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you think you do first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12 divided by three equals what

OpenStudy (helpblahblahblah):

@cassieblake im not sure @Nightmare11-16 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@cassieblake my bad i didnt know you were going to take that approach

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What numbers do they give you in the problem.

OpenStudy (helpblahblahblah):

@cassieblake 3 and 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12/3 = 4 It rotates 4rpm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, what is the question asking for?

OpenStudy (helpblahblahblah):

@cassieblake rate of rotations per minute

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try to find out how many rotations for 1 minute

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it rotates 4 times each minute, 4(each minute) * 3(number of minutes your looking for) = 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if they do 12 rotations in 3 minutes to find out how long it takes them to do a rotation you will have to divide the 12 by 3 which equals 4 and that is your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is 12/3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and we are right back to where we started by asking what is 12 divided by 3

OpenStudy (helpblahblahblah):

And thanks @Ello_M8! @cassieblake 4 @Nightmare11-16 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes so what is your answer?

OpenStudy (helpblahblahblah):

C 4rpm

thanks you guys really helped me understand my math class!! :D

OpenStudy (helpblahblahblah):

and do we do the same thig for the medals we did on the lass question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk

OpenStudy (helpblahblahblah):

@cassieblake give one to @Nightmare11-16
