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? Round your answer to the nearest rotation.

Answer 1

16 rotation it will make

Answer 2

Answer: 16 rotations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The length of the ramp= 500 cm

The circumference of his inline skates wheels= 32 cm

Therefore, the number of rotation each wheel make while Shawn is coasting down the ramp=$\frac{\text{length of ramp}}{\text{circumference of wheel}}$

$=\frac{500}{32}=15.625\approx16$

Therefore,  the number of rotation each wheel make while Shawn is coasting down the ramp= 16
