    Dimensional analysis

    90 rev / sec x 360 deg / rev = 32400 deg/sec

    32400 deg/sec x 60 sec/min =

    How many degrees are there in a circle? Answer: 360 degrees

    1 revolution = 1 full circle

    (360 degrees / 1 revolution) * (90 revolutions / 1 second) = 32,400 degrees / second

    same for the next part, just multiply by 60 to get degrees per minute

    1 revolution means 360 degrees because a circle is 360 degrees

    90 revolutions means 360 degrees times 90 revolutions=32400 degrees in a second

    in a minute, we multiply by 60 because 60 seconds per minute

    32400 times 60=1944000 degrees per minute
