Answer:
- Travel distance in one minute is 6028.8 inches or 502.4 feet or 167.5 yards
=======================
Given
- Tire has radius of 12 in;
- Tire does 80 revolutions per minute.
To find
- Travel distance in one minute
Solution
Use circumference formula to find the tire circumference:
- C = 2πr
- C = 2*3.14*12 = 75.36 in
Find the distance by multiplying the number of revolutions by circumference:
- d = 80*75.36 in = 6028.8 in
Convert the inches to feet, or yards, considering 12 in = 1 foot and 3 feet = 1 yard:
