This is my last question of the day. I hate word problems AND i dont understand what/how to do the radius thing either if someone could explain how that would be so great!! Thanx Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! All you need to do is find the circumference of the tire, which is
1 revolution and dividee that into 100 mi. (converting to inches)
(100 mi.)*(5280 ft/mi)*(12 in/ft) = 6336000
revolutions =
revolutions = to nearest revolution
