Question

A wheel with a circumference of 3 inches is rotating at 5 rotations per minute. I is the distance the wheel travels in one minute

Answer 1

so circumference is the distance around the wheel
that is the part that is actually touching the ground
so therefor the wheele travels 3 inches per rotations
5 rotations per minute
we have to find the distance
3 times (number of roations) times 1 minute=3 times 5 times 1=15
answer is 15 in per miute
I=15
