  1. radius of wheel = 24 inches
    one rotation = 2π(24) = 48π inches

    in 1 hour it goes 55 miles
    = 55x5280x12 inches
    = 3484800 inches

    number of rotations per hour
    = 3484800/(48π) = 23109.29774 rotations per hour
    = 385.155 rpm

    = 385.155x(2π) radians /min
    = 2420 radians/min

    check my arithmetic
