\n" ); document.write( "Find the inches per minute
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2855%2A5280%2A12%29%2F60\" = 58080 in/min
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the inches per revolution
\n" ); document.write( "\"58080%2F550\" = 105.6 inches, the circumference of the tire
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the radius
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2Api%2Ar\" = 105.6
\n" ); document.write( "r = \"105.6%2F%282%2Api%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "r = 16.81 inches is radius of the tire
