Answer:

19 in

Explanation:

Since, one revolution is equal to the circumference of the wheel.

C= πd

->The wheel of a compact car has a 25-in. diameter. The circumference of the compact car will be:

C= π x 25

C= 25 π in

->The wheel of a pickup truck has a 31-in. diameter. The circumference of the pickup truck will be:

C = π x 31

C= 31π in

Next, is to determine differences in distance 'd' traveled by subtraction the circumferences

d= 31π - 25π

d=6π (since π= 3.14)

d= 6 x 3.14

d=19 in

Therefore, the pickup truck wheel traveled 19in farther in one revolution than the compact car wheel
