A bicycle wheel measures 14 inches diameter. If an afternoon ride has been planned, how many complete rotations can be expected during the 1.5 mile ride?
-----------
1.5 miles = 1.5*5280*12 inches = 95040 inches
The circumference of the wheel is pi*d = 14pi inches
The wheel travels 14pi inches per revolution
-----------
# of revs = distance/circumference
