Q. Shawn is coasting down a 500 cm 500 \mathrm{~cm} long ramp on his inline skates. The wheels on his inline skates are 32 cm 32 \mathrm{~cm} in circumference.\newlineHow many rotations does each wheel make while Shawn is coasting down the ramp?\newlineRound your answer to the nearest rotation.\newline\square rotations
  1. Calculate rotations: To find the number of rotations, divide the length of the ramp by the circumference of the wheel.\newlineCalculation: 500cm/32cm=15.625500\,\text{cm} / 32\,\text{cm} = 15.625 rotations.
  2. Round to nearest whole: Round the answer to the nearest whole number since we can't have a fraction of a rotation.\newlineCalculation: 15.62515.625 rounds to 1616 rotations.
