Angular velocity in radians per second?

I don't need the answer, I'd just like to know the equation or the process that would help me solve this question: determine the angular velocity in radians per second of a ferris wheel that takes 1.2 minutes to rotate once. I have a quiz soon and I'd really like to know how to solve these types of problems. Thanks and happy holidays!|||1 revolution = 2pi radians


Time = 1.2 * 60 = 72 seconds


Angular velocity = 2pi/72 = pi/36 radians/s
