The wheels on a vehicle have a radius of 17 inches and are turning at 700 revolutions per minute.
What is the linear velocity of the wheels in miles per hour?
---------
Each revolution moves 2pi*17 inches = 34pi inch/min
Convert to mi/hr
1 mile = 5280 ft * 12 in/ft = 63360 inches.
1 hour = 60 minutes
