Answer:

66 meters

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the distance around wheel is

Speed (meters per second) × Time (seconds)

Speed = 1.2 meters per second.

Time = 55 seconds

Distance = 1.2 meters per second × 55 seconds

Distance = 66 meters

Therefore, in that time, the distance around the wheel that Franklin's cabin travelled is 66 meters
