If a wheel travels 1 mile in 1 minute, at a rate of 600 revolutions per minute, what is the diameter of the wheel, in feet? \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 1. Let d be the diameter of the wheel.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2. Let \"pi%2Ad\" be the circumference of the wheel for one revolution\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 3. Note 1 mile = 5280 feet\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 4. Then 1 mile = 5280 ft= 600*pi*d since 600 revolutions occur in one minute.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 5. Solving for \"d=5280%2F%28600%2Api%29=2.80\" feet\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 6. ANSWER: The diameter of the wheel is 2.80 feet.\r
