Question 1066319: How many feet does a wheel with a diameter of 18 inches travel after three revolutions? Round to two decimal places as needed.

I used C=π⋅d, where C=π⋅9, from there I got 28.2743 inches which is 2.35619 or 2.36 feet! I'm unsure if this is the right way to go about this or if I approached this wrong? If not are there any hints on what to do next?

One revolution 2%2Api%2A%2818%2F2%29=18pi.

THREE revolutions of travel, 3%2A18%2Api=highlight%2854pi%29. This still in inches.
