Answer:

157 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is essentially asking you what the circumference of the wheel is, since after a full turn all of the circle will have touched the road once. The formula for the circumference of a circle is $\pi d$ , where d is the diameter, meaning that the circumference of this tire is 50*3.14=157 inches. Hope this helps!
