The distance = Circumference x number of revolutions

The circumference = π x d, where d is the diameter of the circle

d = 22 inches

The distance = 600 feet

→ Change the feet to inches by multiplying it by 12

The distance = 600 x 12 = 7200 inches

∴ 7200 = 3.14 x 22 x n, where n is the number of revolution

7200 = 69.08 n

→ Divide both sides by 69.08 to find n

∴ 104.22690 = n

The number of complete revolutions is 104
