Answer 1

Answer: All I know is I got a 1/2 points on my open ended question. Monica’s bicycle wheel is 2 times larger than Kevin’s.

Step-by-step explanation: I think you add or multiply or divide. I gotta figure it out myself.

Answer 2

50.2 inches

Explanation:

The wheel of a tricycle is circular in shape.

The circumference of a circle = 2πr

For Monice

Monica's bicycle wheel has a radius of 16 inches.

The circumference of her bicycle wheel = 2 × π × 16

= 100.53096491 inches

Approximately = 100.5 inches

For Kevin

Kevin's tricycle wheel has a radius of 8 inches.

The circumference of his wheel =

2 × π × 8

= 50.265482457 inches

Approximately = 50.3 inches

How many times larger is the circumference of Monica's wheel that the circumference of Kevin's tricycle wheel?

This is calculated as:

Circumference of Monica's wheel - Circumference of Kevin's wheel

= 100.5 inches - 50.3 inches

= 50.2 inches

Hence: Monica's wheel is 50.2 inches larger than Kevin's wheel
