Question

A tractor tire makes one complete rotation every 14.3 seconds. How long does it take the tire to complete 4.25 rotations? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

14.4 times 4.25 would be 60.775

Answer 2

60.775 seconds

Explanation:

Hello, you can solve this using a simple rule of three

Step 1

let

A tractor tire makes one complete rotation every 14.3 seconds,it is

1 rotation ⇒ 14.3 seconds

How long does it take the tire to complete 4.25 rotations?,it is

4.25 rotations ⇒ x seconds

Step 2

if

1 rotation ⇒ 14.3 seconds

4.25 rotations ⇒ x seconds

the relation is

`(1)/(14.3)=(4.25)/(x)\\ isolate \ x \\(x)/(14.3)=4.25\\x=4.25*14.3\\x=60.775\ seconds`

Have a great day
