Answer:

16 inch

Explanation:

Wheel I has diameter 23.4.

Wheel ll has diameter 18.0

  • Diameter of Wheel 1 to the nearest inch = 23 inch
  • Diameter of Wheel 2 to the nearest inch = 18 inch

The distance which each wheel will travel is determined by the circumference of the wheel.

Circumference of a Circle
=\pi d

Distance Traveled by Wheel 1 in One Rotation =
23\pi

Distance Traveled by Wheel 2 in One Rotation =
18\pi

Therefore, the distance which Wheel 1 travels further =
23\pi-18\pi=5\pi =15.7 inch

The distance farther is 16 inch to the nearest inch.

Answer:

Wheel1 = 147inches , wheel 2 = 113inches

Wheel 1 will travel 147 revolutions.

Explanation:

Finding the circumference of both wheels

Wheel 1 = 2 pi r = 2 × 3.142 × 23.4 = 147.05 inches. To the nearest inches = 147inches

Wheel 2 = 2 pi × r = 2 × 3.142 × 18 = 113.11inches . To the nearest inches = 113inches.

I rotation = 1 revolution

In 1 rotation, wheel 1 will travel= 147 × 1 = 147 revolutions.
