Mei and anju are sitting next to each other on different horses on a carousel. mei’s horse is 3 meters from the center of the carousel. anju’s horse is 2 meters from the center. after one rotation of the carousel, how many more meters has mei traveled than anju?

answer: 6.2 m

explanation:

1) the meters traveled by each friend in one rotation is equal to the circumference of the path described by each one.

2) the formula for the calculation of the circumference, c, is:

c = 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle.

3) mei’s horse is 3 meters from the center of the carousel ⇒ r = 3m

⇒ c = 2π(3m) ≈ 18.8m

4) anju’s horse is 2 meters from the center ⇒ r = 2m

⇒ c = 2π(2m) ≈ 12.6m

5) difference ≈ 18.8m - 12.6m = 6.2m

the answer is c. hope this !
