The distance traveled by the wheel in one revolution can be calculated using the formula:
Distance = Circumference of the wheel
The circumference of a circle can be calculated using the formula:
Circumference = π × Diameter
Given that the diameter of the car tire is 60 cm, we can substitute this value into the formula:
Circumference = π × 60 cm
Using an approximate value of π as 3.14, we can calculate:
Circumference ≈ 3.14 × 60 cm
Circumference ≈ 188.4 cm
Therefore, the wheel will travel approximately 188.4 cm in one revolution.

I hope this helps.
