The diameter of a tire is 2ft
A. Find The Circumference of the tire
B.About How Mant Times Will The Tire Have To Rotate To Travel One Mile
(SHOW YOUR WORK)
Thank you for posting your question here. Please see below answers for the problem above:
a. to find the circumference of the tire you need to multiply 3.14 by 2.5:
= 3.14 x 2.5
= 7.85 to round of it will be 8
b. to get the number of times the tire have to rotate to travel 1 mile:
1 mile = 5,280 ft
1 rotation is 7.85
5,280/7.85 = 672.611465
I don’t understand
Whered you get 3.14
Thanks Again Ms. Sue
Thanks tt you saved me i havent gotten feedback on it yet but thanks at least its an answer alltho im pretty sure it correct
A. To find the circumference of the tire, we can use the formula:
Circumference = π × Diameter
Given that the diameter of the tire is 2 ft, we can substitute this value into the formula:
Circumference = π × 2 ft
Now, let's calculate the circumference using the approximate value of π as 3.14:
Circumference ≈ 3.14 × 2 ft
Circumference ≈ 6.28 ft
Therefore, the circumference of the tire is approximately 6.28 ft.
B. To find out how many times the tire will have to rotate to travel one mile, we need to convert the mile distance into feet since the circumference is in feet.
There are 5,280 feet in one mile.
So, the number of rotations can be calculated by dividing the total distance (in feet) by the circumference of the tire.
Number of rotations = Total distance / Circumference of the tire
Number of rotations = 5,280 ft / 6.28 ft
Number of rotations ≈ 840.76
Therefore, the tire will have to rotate approximately 840.76 times to travel one mile.
You're welcome, Kolton.
1. C = pi * d
2. 1 mile = 5,280 feet
Take it from there.
