Answer:

157 inches

Explanation:

This question is essentially asking you what the circumference of the wheel is, since after a full turn all of the circle will have touched the road once. The formula for the circumference of a circle is
$\pi d$ , where d is the diameter, meaning that the circumference of this tire is 50*3.14=157 inches. Hope this helps!
