A street that is 227ft long is covered in snow. City workers are using a snowplow to clear the street. The snowplow has tires that are in 2.5ft diameter. How many times does a tire have to turn in traveling the length of the street? Use the value 3.14 for . Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Do not round any intermediate steps.

Answer 1

each turn of the wheel covers pi*2.5 = 7.85 ft
so now you can figure how many turns the wheel has to make.
