What you need to know for this case is that the linear velocity is defined as the product of the angular velocity by the radius.
We have then:
v = w * r
Substituting the values:
v = (45) * (15) = 675
v = 675 cm / min
answer:
The linear speed, in cm / min, of a point on the rim of the record is:
v = 675 cm / min
