Using proportions, the horse 8 feet from the center would have to make 96 revolutions.
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
A horse 24 feet from the center of a merry-go-round makes 32 revolutions. If it is 8 feet and wants the same distance, how many revolutions will it need? The rule of three is:
24 feet - 32 revolutions
8 feet - x revolutions
The measures are inverse proportional, hence:
8x = 24 x 32
x = 24 x 32/8
x = 96 revolutions.
