Question

Stan drove 3300 \text{ m}3300 m to the grocery store. The tires on his truck are 2.2 \text{ m}2.2 m in circumference.

How many rotations did each tire make on Stan's drive?

Answer 1

stan's drive made 1500 rotations

Answer 2

Answer:

The required number of rotations made by each tire in traveling to the grocery store = 1500  

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of the wheel is given to be 2.2 meter

So, The wheel covers 2.2 meters in one rotation

The total distance traveled by Stan to the grocery store = 3300 meter

We need to find the number of rotations of the wheel while traveling to the grocery store.

$\text{Number of rotations each tire made = }\frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Circumference of tire}}\\\\\implies\text{Number of rotations each tire made = }\frac{3300}{2.2}\\\\\implies\text{Number of rotations each tire amde = }1500$

Therefore, The required number of rotations made by each tire in traveling to the grocery store = 1500
