How many rotations did each tire make on Stan's drive?

Answer 1

Answer:

The tire made 1500 rotations on Stan's drive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total distance traveled by Stan = 3300 m

Circumference of the tire = 2.2 m

Solution,

The circumference of the wheel is 2.2 meter , that means the tire covers 2.2 meters in one rotation.

We have to find the number of rotations of the tire made during traveling to the grocery store.

$Number\ of\ Rotations=\frac{Total\ distance}{Circumference\ of\ tire}$

$\therefore\ Number\ of\ Rotations=\frac{3300}{2.2} =1500$

Thus the tire made 1500 rotations on Stan's drive.
