Answer:

24 degrees

Explanation:

A Ferris wheel is in the shape of a circle. Having 15 seat buckets means that the circle will be divided into 15 sections. Keep in mind that we are assuming that the seat buckets are equally spaced.

We know that:

Degrees in one circle: 360 degree

Dividing in 15 sections:


=(360)/(15)\\=24\ degrees

So the angle of measurement between the seat buckets is 24 degrees ..
