ow many times does a tire with a diameter of 36 in. rotate when it travels a mile? **Tip: As there are 63,360 in. in each mile, 63,360 divided by circumference = number of full rotations.

1 answer

First, we need to find the circumference of the tire using the formula: Circumference = π * diameter

Circumference = 3.14 * 36 in. ≈ 113.04 in.

Next, we can calculate the number of full rotations the tire makes in one mile:

63,360 in. / 113.04 in. ≈ 561 rotations

Therefore, a tire with a diameter of 36 in. will rotate approximately 561 times when traveling one mile.
