Here is your problem.

A street that is 222 m long is covered in snow. City workers are using a snowplos to clear the street. A tire on the snowplow has to turn 37 times n traveling the length of the street. What is the diameter of the tire? crazy right?

Here is the solution, it took me forever to get this module correct! it took me all class! First, we'll find the circumference C of the tire. Then, we'll use C to calculate the diameter d . With each full turn, the tire moves a distance equal to its circumference. Show this We are told that the tire turns times in traveling . So, is times the circumference. We get the following. =37C C Now, we use this circumference to calculate the tire's diameter. C The answer is .
