Find the circumference of the circle.
Pi * the diameter = 50.26548 in
How many inches in a mile?
5280 feet * 12" = 63360
Divide the number of inches in a mile by the circumference of the wheel.
63360 / 50.26548 = roughly 1260.5
(answer may be slightly different depending upon how many places you take Pi to.)
