Answer

Total distance travelled = 502.86 feet

Step-by-step explanation

To know how far one would go, we need to first find the circumference of the ferris wheel. Since it is circular in shape,

Circumference = 2πr

where

π = pi = (22/7)

r = radius of the ferris wheel = 16 feet

Circumference = 2πr

Circumference = 2 × (22/7) × 16

Circumference = 100.57 feet

So, if one now goes round this exactly 5 times,

Total distance travelled = 5 (Circumfernce of the ferris wheel)

Total distance travelled = 5 (100.57)

Total distance travelled = 502.86 feet

Hope this Helps!!!
