Question

2) How many full rotations will it take for each tire to travel 10,000 miles?

Answer this question in the orange boxes below. Hint: convert your
circumference from question #1 to feet (if it's already in feet, you're all set!),
then divide 52,800,000 by that number. Why 52,800,000? Because
52.800.000 ft = 10 000 miles

Answer 1

it will take about 7,851,057 full rotations for each tire to travel 10,000 miles.

Explanation:

To answer this question, you need to know the circumference of each tire. The circumference of a tire is the distance around the outside of the tire. You can find the circumference of a tire by multiplying the diameter of the tire by pi, which is approximately 3.14. The diameter of a tire is the distance from one side of the tire to the other. You can find the diameter of a tire by adding the rim diameter and twice the sidewall height. The rim diameter and the sidewall height are given on the tire’s sidewall. and To find out how many full rotations it will take for each tire to travel 10,000 miles, you need to convert the circumference from millimeters to feet, and then divide 52,800,000 feet by that number. One millimeter is equal to 0.00328084 feet, so 2051.2 millimeters is equal to 6.726 feet. Then, 52,800,000 feet divided by 6.726 feet is equal to 7,851,057 rotations.
