-------------------
125.7/2(pi)r = 16
r = 125.7/(2(pi)16)
r = 1.2503... ft.
--------
diameter = 2r

A vehicle travels 125.7 feet while its wheels revolve 16 times. Find the diameter of the wheels to the nearest inch.
:
Find the circumference:
= 7.85625 ft
:
Convert to inches:
7.85625 * 12 = 94.275 inches
:
We know C = 2*pi*r or just pi*d
pi*d = 94.275
d =
d = 30 inches
:
Check solution:
distance = = 125.6637 ~ 125.7 ft
