Question

Shawn is coasting down a 500 cm long ramp on his inline skates. The wheels on his inline skates are 32 cm in circumference.

How many rotations does each wheel make while Shawn is coasting down the ramp?

Answer 1

500 *32

Explanation:

So the circumference of the whole circle is 500 and they are asking for the whole thing

Answer 2

Each wheel make 15 completed rotations while Shawn is coasting doen the ramp.

Explanation:

Givens

• The ramp is 500 cm long.
• The circumference of the wheels is 32 cm.

To find the number of rotations each wheel make in the process, we need to find the number of 32's can fit in 500. To do that, we just have to divide

`(500cm)/(32cm)= 15(5)/(8)`

Therefore, each wheel make 15 completed rotations while Shawn is coasting doen the ramp.
