You can put this solution on YOUR website!
so the we are looking for the circumference which is the perimeter of the circle
:
C=%28pi%29d=%28pi%29%2818%29=56.52cmusing a value of 3.14 for %28pi%29
:
so the distance it travels on 6 revolutions would be
:
56.52(6)=339.12cm
:
now the are asking how many meters and we know that 1 meter =100cm
:
so %28339.12%29%28cm%29+%281%2F100+%29%28m%2Fcm%29=3.39 meters traveled
