Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's how to find the number of rotations the wheel makes:
Calculate the circumference of the wheel:
Circumference = π * diameter
Circumference = 3.14 * 2.5 feet = 7.85 feet (round to two decimal places for accuracy)
Find the distance traveled in one wheel rotation:
The distance traveled in one rotation is equal to the circumference of the wheel.
Distance per rotation = 7.85 feet
Calculate the number of rotations:
Total distance traveled / Distance per rotation = Number of rotations
Number of rotations = 94.2 feet / 7.85 feet/rotation
Number of rotations ≈ 12.00 rotations (round to two decimal places)
Since the question asks for the answer rounded to the nearest hundredth, we don't need to round further.
Therefore, the wheel rotates approximately 12.00 times.
