How many rotations does each tire make after traveling 600 feet? Round your answers to the nearest whole number. The large tire has a diameter of 60 inches. The small tire has a radius of 9 inches.

The large tire makes 3 rotations, and the small tire makes 11 rotations.

We must find the circumference of each tire to know how many feet are covered when it makes one complete rotation.

C=πd

For the large tire, this means:

C=3.14 (60) = 188.4

Dividing 600/188.4, we get (to the nearest whole number) 3 rotations.

For the small tire, we have:

C = 3.14 (2*9) = 3.14 (18) = 56.52

Dividing 600/56.52, we get (to the nearest whole number) 11 rotations.
