The first ferris wheel was 250 feet in diameter. it was invented by john ferris in 1893. assuming it made one revolution every 30 seconds, what was the linear speed of a passenger ( assuming the passenger is on the edge of the ferris wheel) in feet per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wheel has a diameter of 250 feet, so its circumference is:

C = 2πr = πD

C = 250π feet

It makes one revolution in 30 seconds, or half a minute, so the linear speed of the passenger is:

v = d / t

v = 250π / 0.5

v = 500π ft/min

v ≈ 1571 ft/min

This is about the same as 17.9 mph.

i would need to see the dot plot : )

the speed is   miles per hour > is false

step-by-step explanation:

we know that  

a relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form or

in a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

the graph shown in the figure represent a direct variation

the slope of the line represent the speed

for the point

substitute the values of x and y

the linear equation is equal to

statements

case a) it takes hours to go miles

the statement is true

because

substitute

for

find the value of y in the linear equation

> is correct

case b) the speed is   miles per hour

the statement is false

because the speed is

case c) the unit rate for the trip is

the statement is true

because the speed is equal to the slope of the linear equation

case d) it took minutes to go the first miles

the statement is true

because

substitute

for

find the value of y in the linear equation

> is correct
