Worth 25 points!!

Answer :

Answer:

27 revolutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Things to remember :

  • One revolution = distance of circumference covered
  • circumference = 2πr
  • diameter = 2 x radius

Solving

  • One revolution = 2 x π x d/2 = πd
  • One revolution = 3.14 x 8.5
  • One revolution = 26.69 inches
  • No. of revolutions = Distance / one revolution
  • No. of revolutions = 60 x 12 / 26.69
  • No. of revolutions = 720 / 26.69
  • No. of revolutions = 27 revolutions
