The diameter of a tire is 2.5 ft. Use this measurement to answer parts a and b. Show all work to receive full credit. Draw a picture to help solve the problem and remember to use 3.14 for pi.
Find the circumference of the tire. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
About how many times will the tire have to rotate to travel 1 mile? (1 mile = 5,280 ft)
I have the first part figured out but idk how to find the answer to b, pleeease help me!

rotations = 5280 / circumference
Thanks @R_scott, I'll try that and see how it goes :p
BRUH WHO HAS THE FULL ANSWER
Here
a. to find the circumference of the tire you need to multiply 3.14 by 2.5:
= 3.14 x 2.5
= 7.85 to round of it will be 8
b. to get the number of times the tire have to rotate to travel 1 mile:
1 mile = 5,280 ft
1 rotation is 7.85
5,280/7.85 = 672.611465

Thx Bruh Momento
how did u het 3.14 @Bruh Momento
is he right
where did you get 3.10 from @bruh momento
he got 3.14 because its pi
