. Now you have done the math. Which tire made the most turns to drive one mile?
*
18 in.
22 in.
30 in.
To determine which tire made the most turns to drive one mile, we can use the formula:
Number of turns = Distance / (2 * π * (radius))
First we need to convert the tire sizes to their respective radii:
18 in. tire: radius = 18 / 2 = 9 inches
22 in. tire: radius = 22 / 2 = 11 inches
30 in. tire: radius = 30 / 2 = 15 inches
Now we can calculate the number of turns for each tire using the formula above:
For the 18 in. tire:
Number of turns = 1 mile / (2 * π * 9) ≈ 26.58 turns
For the 22 in. tire:
Number of turns = 1 mile / (2 * π * 11) ≈ 23.05 turns
For the 30 in. tire:
Number of turns = 1 mile / (2 * π * 15) ≈ 19.10 turns
Therefore, the 18 in. tire made the most turns to drive one mile.
