Please help:

A Ferris wheel at a carnival has a diameter of 60feet. Suppose a passenger is traveling at 5 miles per hour. (A useful fact: =1mi5280ft.)
(a) Find the angular speed of the wheel in radians per minute.
(b) Find the number of revolutions the wheel makes per hour. (Assume the wheel does not stop.)

a) V = R * W      where v is linear speed, r is radius of circular motion, and w is angular speed.

b) W = D / T     where D is the total number of radians rotated and T is the time it took for that to happen
