Express the circumference, of the tire
in miles.

--------------------
( inches ) x ( 1 foot / 12 inches ) x ( 1 mile / 5280 ft ) = miles

------------------------
Convert mi/hr to mi/min
( mi/hr ) x ( hrs / 60 min ) = mi/min
mi/min
-------------------------------
( mi / min ) / ( mi / rev ) = rev / min

The angular velocity is 140.056 rev/min
Hope I got it
