Answer: about 630.57 rotations per mile.

Step-by-step explanation: There are 1760 yards in one mile. 36 inches per yard. Convert miles to inches: 1760×36=63360

Figure the circumference of the tire: C=π×32 3.14×32=100.48=C

Divide the length of the mile by the circumference of the tire:. 63360/100.48 = 630.57 approximately.
