Question 1208413: How many feet does a wheel with a diameter of 16 inches travel after 4 revolutions?
Let me see.

Convert 16 inches to feet.
There are 12 inches in a foot.
16/12 = 4/3 feet.
I think the word revolution tells me to find the circumference of the circle times the number of revolutions.
C = pi•(4/3) times 4 revolutions.
Is this correct?
