Question

Franklin rode the City Center Ferris Wheel, which has a diameter of 130 meters. For 55 seconds of the ride, the cabin that Franklin was riding in traveled at 1.2 meters per second. In that time, what distance around the wheel did Franklin's cabin travel?

Answer 1

66 meters

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the distance around wheel is

Speed (meters per second) × Time (seconds)

Speed = 1.2 meters per second.

Time = 55 seconds

Distance = 1.2 meters per second × 55 seconds

Distance = 66 meters

Therefore, in that time, the distance around the wheel that Franklin's cabin travelled is 66 meters
