Question

The carousel on the national mall has four rings of horses. Kiran is running on the inner ring, which has a radius of 9 feet. Mai is riding on the outer ring, which is 8 feet farther out from the center then the inner ring is. And one rotation of the carousel, how much farther does mai travel from Kiran. One rotation takes 12 seconds. How much faster does mai travel than kiran?

Answer 1

50.24

Explanation:

so u subtract the distanse not 9-4 u have to find a porportional ratio it was 100 - 50 or something add u get 50.24

tbh i didnt knw i just searched it up and im only in 6th grade so im not the the smartest in the world

i have no clue what the second on is so good luck with that

Answer 2

One way to find how much farther Mai travels from Koran would be to calculate the circumference, the distance traveled for both and then subtract.

Mai

C = 3.14 x 34
C = 106.76 feet

Kiran:

C = 3.14 x 18
C = 56.52 feet

106.76 feet - 56.52 feet=
50.24 feet

The difference between the two is 50.24 feet.
