How many times does a tire with a diameter of 36 in. rotate when it travels a mile? **Tip: As there are 63,360 in. in each mile, 63,360 divided by circumference = number of full rotations. Round up to the next whole number.(2 points)
The circumference of the tire can be calculated using the formula C = πd, where d is the diameter of the tire.
C = π(36)
C ≈ 113.1 in.
To find out how many times the tire rotates in one mile, we divide the total distance in inches (63,360 in) by the circumference of the tire:
63,360 in ÷ 113.1 in ≈ 561 rotations
Therefore, a tire with a diameter of 36 in. will rotate approximately 561 times when it travels one mile.
