Question 1107729: A tire is 33 inches in diameter. If the speedometer reads 15mph how long is one revolution of the tire in seconds?

The circumference of the tire is inches, which is about 8.63938ft
The speed of 15mi/hr is equivalent to 15mi/hr * 1hr/3600sec * 5280ft/mi = 22 ft/sec
Thus the time for one revolution is 8.63938ft/(22 ft/sec) = to 4 decimal places
