Q:

How many rotations does each tire make after traveling 600 feet? Round your answers to the nearest whole number. The large tire has a diameter of 60 inches. The small tire has a radius of 9 inches.

Accepted Solution

A:
In this exercise we have to calculate the rotation number, so we find that:For max diameter 3 rotations for min diameter makes 11 rotations.Knowing that it is a circle we will use the rotation formula as:[tex]C=\pi d[/tex]Knowing that some information was given in the statement, we have:diameter of 60 inchesradius of 9 inches.traveling 600 feetSubstituting the known information in the formula, we have:[tex]C=3.14(60) = 188.4[/tex]So now we have to divide by the total number, so the rotations will be:[tex]600/188.4= 3 \ rotations[/tex]Putting the value of the smaller diameter, we have:[tex]C= 3.14(2*9) = 3.14(18) = 56.52[/tex]So now we have to divide by the total number, so the rotations will be:[tex]600/56.52=11 \ rotations[/tex]See more about rotations at brainly.com/question/1571997
