Question 405430
How many revolutions will a car wheel of diameter 28 inches make as the car travels a distance of three miles?

..

circumference of a circle = 2pi*radius
for given wheel, C=2pi(28/2)=28pi inches
for each revolution the car travels 28pi inches
..
(rev/28pi(in)*3mi*5280ft/mi*12in/ft=2161.97 revolutions

ans:
The number of revolutions the wheel makes as the car travels a distance of 3 miles=2161.97
