Answer:

The tire will rotate 280.12 times

Why?

To calculate how many times will the tire rotate, first, we need to convert from miles to inches using the following factor:

Now, calculating the circumference of the wheel, we have:

Then, calculating how many times will the tire rotate, we have:

Hence, we have that the tire will rotate 280.12 times (280.12 revolutions).

Have a nice day!
