Answer:
776 revolutions per mile
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the Circumference of the wheel.
Formula for circumference = πD
Where D = Diameter of the car wheel = 26 inches
Circumference of the car wheel = π × 26
= 81.68 inches
We have to find, how many inches make 1 mile.
1 mile = 63360 inches.
To determine the number of revolutions a car wheel of diameter 26 inches will travel,
= 63360 inches ÷ circumference of the car wheel
= 63360 inches ÷ 81.68inches
= 775.71 revolutions per mile
To the nearest whole number = 776 revolutions per mile.
