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)
rotations
The circumference of a tire with a diameter of 36 inches is π * 36 = 113.097 inches.
To find out how many times the tire rotates in a mile, divide 63,360 (inches in a mile) by 113.097:
63,360 / 113.097 ≈ 561.10
So the tire would rotate approximately 562 times when traveling a mile.
