You can put this solution on YOUR website! The distance from Philadelphia to Sea Isle City is 100 mi. A car was driven this
distance using tires with a radius of 14 in. How many revolutions of each tire
occurred on the trip?
---
# of inches in 100 miles: (100 mi)*(5280 ft/mi)*(12 in/ft)
----
circumference of tire = 28pi inches
------------
# of revs = (1200*5280)(in/100 mi)/(28pi in) = 72028 revs.
