Write the ratio as a fraction to lowest terms.

A person riding a Ferris Wheel travels once around the wheel, a distance of 172 feet, in 30 seconds. What is the average speed of the rider in feet per second? Round to the nearest tenth.

30 to 6 = 30;6 = 30/6 = 5/1 = 5:1 or 5 to 1

172 feet, in 30 seconds then
average speed (in ft per sec) :
172/30...:..Divide both sides by 30

= 54/1 or 52 ft/sec
or 52 ft per second
