Q. Shawn is coasting down a 500cm long ramp on his inline skates. The wheels on his inline skates are 32cm in circumference.How many rotations does each wheel make while Shawn is coasting down the ramp?Round your answer to the nearest rotation.□ rotations
Calculate rotations: To find the number of rotations, divide the length of the ramp by the circumference of the wheel.Calculation: 500cm/32cm=15.625 rotations.
Round to nearest whole: Round the answer to the nearest whole number since we can't have a fraction of a rotation.Calculation: 15.625 rounds to 16 rotations.
