\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are 5280 feet in a statute mile. So there are 5280 times 12 = 63360 inches in a mile. If the tire makes 672 revolutions in 63360 inches, the circumference of the tire must be 63360 divided by 672 is approximately 94.29 inches. The circumference of a circle (I hope your tire is a very good approximation of a circle -- otherwise you are in for a VERY bumpy ride) is given by 2 times times the radius. Therefore, the radius is the circumference divided by 2 times . 94.29 divided by is very close to one of your answers. You can do the rest of the arithmetic.\r
