A ride at an amusement park consists of two circular rings of swings. At full speed, the swings in the inner ring travel on a circular path with a radius of 32 ft, and the swings in the outer ring travel on a circular path with a radius of 38 ft. Each swing makes one complete revolution every 3.75 seconds. Rounded to the nearest tenth of a mile per hour, determine how much greater the linear speed of the swings in the outer ring is compared to the linear speed of the swings in the inner ring.
