The tires on Eric's car have a diameter of 18 inches. Rounded to the nearest whole number, how many rotations per second does each tire make when Eric is driving at a rate of 88 feet per second?

A.) 2
B.) 19
C.) 37
D.) 59

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to figure out how far Eric's car takes him in 1 rotation based on the diameter of his tire in feet. If the diameter of the tire is 18", then it is 1.5'. The circumference will tell us the distance 1 rotation of his tires will take him:

C = 3.1415(1.5) so

C = 4.71225 feet is how far he goes in 1 rotation. If he travels 88 feet in 1 second, we can figure the number of rotations by dividing 88 by 4.71225 to give us the unit rate (or, rotations per second his car makes). This quotient is 18.67 feet per sec, which rounds to 19, choice B.

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
