As hamster wheel is circular so for revolution we will find the circumference.

Diameter of the Hamster wheel = 8.5 in

One revolution of the wheel = circumference of the wheel

Circumference = π × d

π = 3.14 and d = 8.5

So, Circumference = 3.14 × 8.5

Circumference = 26.69 in

So in one revolution the hamster wheel travels a distance of 26.69 in
