Answer 1

420 meters

Explanation:

Q. Benjamin is riding a unicycle. The tire of his unicycle has a circumference of 2.8 m, and the tire revolves 1.5 times per second. What is the distance Benjamin travels in 100 seconds?

Given:

Circumference of circular tire = 2.8 meters

Tire revolves per second = 1.5 times

Question asked:

What is the distance Benjamin travels in 100 seconds?

Solution:

Circumference of circular tire means distance covered by the unicycle's tire when it revolves 1 time that is 2.8 meters.

Now, by unitary method:

In 1 second, tire revolves = 1.5 times

In 100 seconds, tire revolves = 1.5 100

= 150 times

Distance covered by the tire when it revolves 1 time = 2.8 m

Distance covered by the tire when it revolves 150 times = 2.8 150

= 420 meters

Therefore, Benjamin travels 420 meters in 100 seconds.

Answer 2

420 meters

Explanation:

Q. Benjamin is riding a unicycle. The tire of his unicycle has a circumference of 2.8 m, and the tire revolves 1.5 times per second. What is the distance Benjamin travels in 100 seconds?

Given:

Circumference of circular tire = 2.8 meters

Tire revolves per second = 1.5 times

Question asked:

What is the distance Benjamin travels in 100 seconds?

Solution:

Circumference of circular tire means distance covered by the unicycle's tire when it revolves 1 time that is 2.8 meters.

Now, by unitary method:

In 1 second, tire revolves = 1.5 times

In 100 seconds, tire revolves = 1.5
`*` 100

= 150 times

Distance covered by the tire when it revolves 1 time = 2.8 m

Distance covered by the tire when it revolves 150 times = 2.8
`*` 150

= 420 meters

Therefore, Benjamin travels 420 meters in 100 seconds.
