Question

The Ferris Wheel makes 12 revolutions per ride. How far would someone travel during one ride?

Answer 1

1 revolution = the circumference of the wheel = (pi) x (diameter) .

12 revolutions = 12 x the circumference of the wheel = (12) x (pi) x (diameter) .

Answer 2

`C=12{*}{\pi}{*}d`.

Explanation:

It is given that The Ferris Wheel makes 12 revolutions per ride.

Now, The circumference to find the distance a rider travels in 1 revolution is given as:
`C={\pi}d` where "d" is the diameter.

For 12 revolutions, the distance a rider travels is given as:
`C=12{*}{\pi}{*}d`.
