A person has a measuring wheel that records the distance the wheel is rolled along the ground. The circumference of the wheel is one yard. If the wheel is pushed half a mile, how many times will the wheel go around (1mi=5280 ft)?

Answer 1

- find out how many feet are in 1 yard
- divide 5280 feet by 2 (which would equal half a mile)
- take that number and divide by how many feet the circumference of the wheel is

Answer 2

880
