a wheel impressive state

llinois  is home to the city of chicago  where  the wolds  first skyscrapers were built. But  it,s  also where  the  wolds first ferris wheel  was  built.  back  in 1893  chicago hosted  a giant fair called the  world expo. They needed something as exciting as the eiffel Tower in paris  ferris built a 264- foot tall wheel  that spun in place. This huge wheel  had 36 cars ate could each hold 60 people  one red took 20minutes 11minutes in the first full  turn including stops to let people on and 9 minute not stoop ride people loved it then and still do. In the past 30 years the record for tallest ferris wheel has been broken 8 times. we can thank llinois  wheeling  us to new heights. wee ferris wheel like all weals are circles. can you find a  find a circle near you.circle might include buttons clock coins th bottom or top of cup and many other  objects. How much longer did the 11 minute sop take than the 9 minute spin on  the world first ferris wheel 2 minutes longer. If you red up a ferris wheel for 4 minutes stop at the top  fir twice al long as that and then rede down for 2minutes how many minutes long is your ride  14 minutes  you take 8 minutes and 4 + 8+2= 14.  If  a ferris wheel has 15 triangular section and  3 spokes in each of those sections how many spokes does it have 45 spokes. If that firs ferris wheel had to make 6 stops to fill its 36 cars how many cars were filled on each stop 6 cars because 36/ 6 = 6. If  the first ferris wheel could hold 60 people each in 36 card and took 20 minutes per ride how many people  could ride it in 1hour 6, 480 people every hour 6x 360= 2,160 people in a 20 minute rede since  60 minutes / 20= 3 , they can fit 3 rides  of 2,160 people in hour and 2,160x 3= 6,480.  from called of book bedtime math .
