Now you have done the math. Which tire made the most turns to drive one mile?
16 in tire
25 in tire
36 in tire
To find out which tire made the most turns to drive one mile, we need to calculate the circumference of each tire first.
Circumference = 2 * π * radius
For the 16-inch tire:
Radius = 16 inches / 2 = 8 inches
Circumference = 2 * π * 8 = 16π inches
For the 25-inch tire:
Radius = 25 inches / 2 = 12.5 inches
Circumference = 2 * π * 12.5 = 25π inches
For the 36-inch tire:
Radius = 36 inches / 2 = 18 inches
Circumference = 2 * π * 18 = 36π inches
Now, we need to calculate how many times each tire would have to turn to travel one mile, which is 63,360 inches (5280 feet in a mile * 12 inches per foot).
For the 16-inch tire:
Number of turns = 63360 / (16π) ≈ 4007.96 turns
For the 25-inch tire:
Number of turns = 63360 / (25π) ≈ 806.86 turns
For the 36-inch tire:
Number of turns = 63360 / (36π) ≈ 558.75 turns
Therefore, the 16-inch tire made the most turns to drive one mile.
