A bicycle wheel makes 240 revolution in 2 minutes.(a)At what rate is the wheel turning?Give the answer in numbers of revolutions per minute.
240 / 2 = ?
To find the rate at which the wheel is turning, we divide the total number of revolutions made by the wheel by the time it takes to make those revolutions.
Given that the bicycle wheel makes 240 revolutions in 2 minutes, we can calculate the rate of turning as follows:
Rate of turning = Total revolutions / Time
Rate of turning = 240 revolutions / 2 minutes
Therefore, the bicycle wheel is turning at a rate of 120 revolutions per minute.
