Coach Rourke has a measuring wheel that records the distance the wheel is rolled along the ground. The circumference of the wheel is one yard. If the wheel is pushed half a mile, how many times will the wheel go around?
-------------------
The circumference is 3 feet, so it makes one rev per 3 feet
1/2 mile = 2640 feet.
revs = 2640/3 = 880
