  1. The circumference = 2 pi r

    (or 2 * radius * 3.14)

    so 2 * radius = 2 foot * 3.14 = 6.28

    Once you know the circumference you divide the distance by this to work out the number of revolutions:

    2300 / 6.28 = 366.


  2. one revolution of a wheel is 3.14 x 1 x 1 = 3.14 feet.

    You can do the rest.

  3. im 89 persents its 230 and 11 persent its 341 go with 230 revalutions
