The vehicle has wheels each diameter of 4 inches. If the wheels are turning at 50 rpm (revolutions per minute) how far, in inches, this vehicle can travel in 10 minutes?

circumfer of wheel=π *D
circumfer of wheel=3.142*4
12.568 inches
So wheel travels 12.568 inches in 1 revolution.It makes 50 R.P.M
so in 1 min it travels 12.568*50 inches or
628.4 inches
In 10 minutes it will travel 628.4*10 =6284 inches
