A wheel with a 13-inch diameter is turning at the rate of 57 revolutions per minute.
To the nearest inch per minute, what is the linear velocity of a point on the rim?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The linear velocity of a point on the rim in inches per minute is 
the circumference of the wheel times the number of revolutions per minute


    linear velocity =  =  = 2327 inches per minute  (rounded).    ANSWER
