Answer:

The total distance traveled by the car is 330 miles.

Explanation:

The circular track is the circumference of circle with radius 1.5 miles.

Circumference of a circle = 2
\pir

Thus,

Circumference of the track = 2 x
(22)/(7) x 1.5

= 9.4286571429

Circumference of the track = 9.4286571429 miles

But, one complete revolution by the car is the circumference of the track.

i.e One complete revolution round the track = 9.4286571429 miles

Therefore,

35 complete revolutions round the track = 35 x 9.4286571429 miles

= 330 miles

The total distance traveled by the car is 330 miles.
