A wheel makes 4 17/20 revolutions per minute. If it rotates for 48 minutes,how many revolutions does it make?

48 * 4 17/20 = ?

To find the number of revolutions the wheel makes in 48 minutes, we need to multiply the number of revolutions per minute by the number of minutes.

Step 1: Convert the mixed number fraction to an improper fraction.
17/20 = 1 + 17/20 = (1 * 20 + 17) / 20 = 37/20

Step 2: Multiply the improper fraction by the number of minutes.
(37/20) * 48 = (37 * 48) / 20 = 1776/20

Step 3: Simplify the fraction.
1776 and 20 are both divisible by 8, so we can simplify:
1776/20 = (8 * 222) / (8 * 2) = 222/2 = 111

Therefore, the wheel makes 111 revolutions in 48 minutes.
