Question

A hamster wheel has a diameter of 8.5 in. How many inches does the wheel turn in one revolution? Use 3.14 to approximate for π . Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

The wheel turns 26.69 inches in one revolution.

Explanation:
When it asks, "how many inches does the wheel turn in one revolution," it is asking for the circle's circumference. The formula for circumference is pi x diameter (3.14 x 8.5). So we would multiply 3.14 x 8.5, which we get 26.69. Therefore, the wheel turns 26.69 inches in one revolution

Answer 2

Answer: The wheel turn 26.7 inches in one revolution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Diameter of wheel = 8.5 inches

Radius of wheel is given by

$\dfrac{8.5}{2}\\\\=4.25\ inch$

Circumference of wheel turn in one revolution is given by

$2\pi r\\\\=2\times 3.14\times 4.25\\\\=26.69\ inches$

Hence, The wheel turn 26.7 inches in one revolution.
