Answer:
162 revs
Step-by-step explanation:
-The distance to be covered is 1100 ft.
-The circumference of the tire is equivalent to the distance covered by the tire in one revolution.
#We find the tire's circumference in feet(1inch=0.08333)
[tex]C=\pi D\\\\=\pi\times 26\\\\=26\pi \\\\=81.6814 \inch \times 0.08333\approx 6.8065\ ft[/tex]
We then divide the distance to be traveled by the tire's circumference to determine the number of revolutions made:
[tex]revs=\frac{d}{C}\\\\=\frac{1100}{6.8065}\\\\=161.6102\approx 162 \ revs[/tex]
Hence, the tire makes approximately 162 revs.
