How do I calculate the rotations of car tires for 10,000 miles. The diameter is 18 inches and the circumference is 50.3 centimeters.
+129852 If the diameter is 18 inches, then the circumference = 18pi inches
So....in 10,000 mi, we will travel
10000* 5280* 12 = 633,600,000 inches
So the number of rotations will be
[total inches traveled ] / [ inches in one rotation] =
633,600,000/ [18pi] = about 1.12045 x 10^7 rotations = about 11,204,500 rotations
+37146 If the diameter is 18 inches
the CIRCUMFERENCE is 56.54 inches.... NOT 50.3 cm
10000 miles x 5280 feet/mile x 12 in/foot / 56.54 in =11204508 rotations
