a) Circumference = 2Οr
= 2Ο(2.5 ft)
= 5Ο ft
b) Circumference of tire = 5Ο ft
Distance traveled in 1 rotation = 5Ο ft
Number of rotations to travel 1 mile = 5,280 ft / 5Ο ft
= 1056/Ο rotations
β 333.5 rotations

AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
C=Οd
so cut the circumference by half, and double the rotations needed.
