|dw:1420634127749:dw| 270 rpm or 270 degrees?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

27km

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No direct answers @dustin-1234

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please need some solutions. :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does the question say 270 degrees or 270 rpm?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

270 revolution Sorry! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6.75km

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok well first we need to find the circumference of the wheel.\[circumference~=~2\pi(radius)\]|dw:1420634489329:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if the bike has a radius of 20 therefore the total length is 2*20*3.142 and if the distance is 270permeter therefore the total distance per meter using the total length is 270*2*20*3.142 meters per min , then convert . I will give the ans shortly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

33.9kmpermin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pls dont give direct answers...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok sorry but u can now ccal the one in km per hr

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 33,933.6???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes and then we need how many in an hour, you have it for one minute. There are 60 minutes in an hour so...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

565.56?? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not quite, multiply 33,933.6 by 60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh 2036016 :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes! Then since this is in KM, and 1000m = 1km, we divide 2036016 by 1000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2036.016

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Looks about right, dont forget your units though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2036.016 km per hour? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes! Good job.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YEs!! Thank you very much. :D
