The circumference of the wheel is found using the formula:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "C = pi*D
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "where C is the circumference and D is the diameter. So for this problem:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "C = pi*1.5 = 3.14*1.5 = 4.71 feet
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Each turn of the wheel moves the car forward a distance equal to the circumference of the wheel
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "To move the car forward 37.68 feet the number of rotations (revolutions) the wheel must make
\n" ); document.write( "is found by dividing 4.71 into 37.68 ....
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Rotations = 37.68/4.71 = 8
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So, if the wheel rotates 8 times, the car will move forward 37.68 feet.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps you to understand the problem.
