A car’s wheel are 28 inches in diameter. How far (in miles) will the car travel if its wheels revolve 10000 times without slipping?

Solution:

s = distance

s = r θ

s = 14 inches (10 000)

s = 140 000 inches

*convert inches to feet to meter

s = 3556 meters

*convert meters to miles

s = 3.556 miles

The car will travel 3.556 miles
