Answer:

79.94

Explanation:

First, let us find the circumference of the wheel (circle).

For that, let us use the below formula.

C = π × d

Given that,

d ⇒ diameter ⇒ 150 cm ⇒ 1.5 m

Let us find now.

C = π d

C = 3.142 × 1.5

C = 4.713

And now to find the number of times that the wheel rotates, you have to divide the total distance that wheel traveled by it's circumference.

Let us find now.

No. of times that wheel rotates = 376.8m ÷ 4.713m

No. of times that wheel rotates = 79.94

Approximately, the wheel will rotates 80 times.
