ok find circumference sinc that is what touches the grownd
C=pid
d=2.5
c=2.5pift
aprox pi=3.14 for problem
c=2.5(3.14)
c=7.85ft
how many 7.85ft does it take to get 5280 ft
7.85 times how many=5280
divide both sides by 7.85
how many=672.611
tenth
672.6

answer is 672.6revolutions
aprox pi=3.14 for problem
