suppose a car has a wheel with a radius of 15 inches. How many revolutions must the wheel make to cover a distance of 10 miles?

First you have to figure out what distance a wheel will cover in one revolution. That means we calculate the circumference of the wheel.

C= 2Pi(Radius)

C= 2(3.14)(15)

Therefore, the circumference is approximately 94.2 inches, which is 7.85 feet.

There are 52,800 feet in 10 miles. Therefore, there are 52800/7.85 = 6726 revolutions.
