Answer:

1271.7 inches

Explanation:

Given


d = 27in


Rotations = 15

Required

The total distance moved

First, we calculate the circumference of the wheel


c = \pi *d


c = 3.14 * 27


c = 84.78

This represents the distance traveled in one complete rotation.

So, in 15 rotations.


Total = 15 * 84.78


Total = 1271.7
