1 rev is distance of pi D
so pi D feet/9 minutes = speed in feet/min
.495 mi/h * 5280 ft/mi * 1 h/60 min
= 43.56 feet/min
SO
pi D/9 = 43.56
D = 9 (43.56)/pi
or
D = 125 feet
so pi D feet/9 minutes = speed in feet/min
.495 mi/h * 5280 ft/mi * 1 h/60 min
= 43.56 feet/min
SO
pi D/9 = 43.56
D = 9 (43.56)/pi
or
D = 125 feet
