Question

Stan drove 3300 m to the grocery store. The tires on his truck are 2.2 m in circumference. How many rotations did each tire make on Stan's drive?

Answer 1

The required number of rotations made by each tire in traveling to the grocery store = 1500

Explanation:

The circumference of the wheel is given to be 2.2 meter

So, The wheel covers 2.2 meters in one rotation

The total distance traveled by Stan to the grocery store = 3300 meter

We need to find the number of rotations of the wheel while traveling to the grocery store.

`\text{Number of rotations each tire made = }\frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Circumference of tire}}\\\\\implies\text{Number of rotations each tire made = }(3300)/(2.2)\\\\\implies\text{Number of rotations each tire amde = }1500`

Therefore, The required number of rotations made by each tire in traveling to the grocery store = 1500

Answer 2

(3300 m)/(2.2 m/rot) = 3300/2.2 rot = 1500 rot

Each tire made 1500 rotations on the drive.
