A wheel with a 13-inch diameter is turning at the rate of 57 revolutions per minute.
To the nearest inch per minute, what is the linear velocity of a point on the rim?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The linear velocity of a point on the rim in inches per minute is 
the circumference of the wheel times the number of revolutions per minute


    linear velocity = 57%2A%28pi%2A13%29 = 57%2A13%2A3.14 = 2327 inches per minute  (rounded).    ANSWER

Solved.
