Calculate the product of the tire's circumference, the revolutions per minute, and number of minutes.
D
To find how far she travels in 5 minutes we need the circumference of the tire. To find this we have to multiply its diameter — which is twice the radius — by π.
The circumference is 28Ï€. If the tires are spinning at 120 revolutions per minute, the number of inches traveled after 5 minutes must be the product of the 28Ï€, 120, and 5. 28Ï€(120)(5)=16 800Ï€ in. This matches option D.
