~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The area equation for this problem is

    76 = 0.96*(pi*0.6)*n  square meters,


where n is the number of revolutions, pi = 3.14 (approximately).


From this equation

    n = 76%2F%280.96%2A3.14%2A0.6%29 = 42.02052.


Probably, you want (or, may be, do not want) to round it to 42 revolutions.

Solved.
