Question

a wheel has a diameter of 15cm. The wheel travels 50 metres. How many revolutions does the wheel complete?

Answer 1

106

Explanation:

The diameter of the wheel is 15 cm or 0.15 m.

The circumference of the wheel is 0.15π m ≈ 0.47 m.

So the wheel moves 0.47 m with each revolution.

The wheel travels 50 m, so the number of revolutions is:

(50 m) / (0.47 m/rev) ≈ 106 revolutions.
