Question

I need to find the answer its bonus points for extra credit

Answer 1

Hi Olivia,

 

First you need to calculate the wheel's circumference using the formula Circumference = 2 times pi times the radius. . . remember that the radius is half the diameter.

 

Each time the wheel makes one revolution, it's traveled one circumference.

 

If it makes 405 revolutions, you need to multiply by 405.

 

Have fun.
