so the we are looking for the circumference which is the perimeter of the circle
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"C=%28pi%29d=%28pi%29%2818%29=56.52cm\"$ using a value of 3.14 for $\"%28pi%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "so the distance it travels on 6 revolutions would be
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "56.52(6)=339.12cm
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "now the are asking how many meters and we know that 1 meter =100cm
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "so $\"%28339.12%29%28cm%29+%281%2F100+%29%28m%2Fcm%29=3.39\"$ meters traveled \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
