Question

The perimeter of a wheel is 10 3/4 cm. What
distance will it travel if it makes 5 1/2 rotations? step by step explanation​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter =10 3/4 cm=43/4 cm

so for 1 rotation distance travelled 43/4 cm

for 5 1/2 rotation distance travelled

=43/4×5 1/2 cm

=43/4×11/2 cm

=473/8 cm

=59 1/8 cm

Answer 2

The distance covered is 59.125 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The perimeter of the wheel= 10 3÷4= 43÷4 cm

The number of rotations taken= 5 1÷2 cm= 11÷2 cm

Solution:

The distance covered by the wheel= number of rotations× the perimeter of the wheel

Putting the values, we get,

The distance covered=43×11÷ 4×2

= 473÷ 8

=59.125 cm

Result:

Thus, the distance covered is 59.125 cm
