A tire on a miniature car has a diameter of 1.468 inches. The circumference of a tire for a full size car is 65.97 inches.
To the nearest tenth, how many times greater is the circumference of the full size car's tire when compared to the circumference of the miniature car's tire?
Responses
A 8.5 times greater8.5 times greater
B 12.2 times greater12.2 times greater
C 14.3 times greater14.3 times greater
D 15.2 times greater
To find the number of times greater the circumference of the full size car's tire is compared to the circumference of the miniature car's tire, we can divide the circumference of the full size car's tire by the circumference of the miniature car's tire.
65.97 inches / 1.468 inches = 44.98
Since we are asked to round to the nearest tenth, the answer is approximately 45.0.
Therefore, the circumference of the full size car's tire is 45 times greater than the circumference of the miniature car's tire.
