r, radius of small wheel;
, circumference of small wheel;
, circumference of LARGE wheel.
Distance each wheel traveled was 63 meters each.
How many circumferences for each wheel?
That means, how many TURNS for each wheel?
Small Wheel:
Large Wheel:
The small wheel made 10 MORE turns than the large wheel made.
Solve this equation for the radius r, of the small wheel.
Use r to find the circumference of both wheels.
