Question
If a bicycle wheel has 48 spokes, then the angle between a pair of two consecutive spokes is ______.
Options
`(5 1/2)`
`(7 1/2)`
`(2/11)`
`(2/15)`
Solution
If a bicycle wheel has 48 spokes, then the angle between a pair of two consecutive spokes is `(7 1/2)`.
Explanation:
The total angle is 360° as it is a complete circle.
Now there are 48 spokes which also means the angle between two consecutive spokes is
`360/48 = 15/2 = 7 1/2`
