Aferris wheel has a diameter of 42 feet. it rotates 3 times per minute. approximately how far will a passenger travel during a 5-minute ride?
132 feet
659 feet
1,978 feet
3,956 feet

We will need to find the circumference (the perimeter of a circle). The formula for the circumference is C=2пr

The diameter is 2r, so we have to divide 42 by two. You get 21 for the radius. We will use 3.14 for the pi.

then you plug it in to the formula

C = 2 (3.14) * 21

The answer is 131.88

Then times that with 3

you get 395.64

but since it has been 5 minutes, then you times it with 5

that's 1,978.2

There is 240 red cars and there is 400 blue cars because 240/3=80 and 80*5=400

Ican't read this very blury
