How fast does a point on the edge of a wheel travel if the wheel is rotating 30 times per minutes and the diameter of the wheel is 34 in. Write in MPH. Please explain step by step
Each time the wheel rotates, it travels pi*(34 in) = about 106.81 in
And in one minute, it travels 30 * 106.81 in = about 3204.3 in
And in one hour ......it travels 3204.3 *60 = 192,258in
And there are 5280*12 = 63,360 in in one mile......so.....
192,258 / 63,360 = about 3.03 mph
