Question

Wheel A has a diameter of 9 ft. Wheel B has a diameter of 12 ft. If both wheels revolve at the same rate, Wheel B will cover a linear distance of 24 ft.

a.)at the same speed as Wheel A
b.)more slowly than Wheel A
c.)in half the time of Wheel A
d.)more quickly than Wheel A

Answer 1

When two wheels revolve at the same rate, the larger wheel will cover a greater linear distance compared to the smaller wheel.

Step-by-step explanation:

When two wheels revolve at the same rate, the linear distance covered by the wheels is proportional to their respective diameters. In this case, Wheel A has a diameter of 9 ft and Wheel B has a diameter of 12 ft. Since the diameter of Wheel B is larger than that of Wheel A, Wheel B will cover a greater linear distance compared to Wheel A. Therefore, the correct answer is option (d) more quickly than Wheel A.
