Question

URGENT HELP A buggy has front wheels with a diameter of 12 inches and back wheels with a diameter of 18 inches. If Molly pushes the buggy for 300 yards, how many more revolutions does each of the front wheels make than each of the back wheels? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Cir of front wheel = pi x d = 3.14 x 12 = 37.7 in.

Cir of rear wheel = pi x d =3.14 x 18 = 56.52

Revolutions of front Tire = 300 / 37.7 = 7. 96 revolutions

Revolutions of rear Tire = 300 / 56.5 = 5.31 revolutions

Revolutions Front - Revolutions Rear = 7.96 -56.31 = 2.7 revolutions more
