Question 42 • TX-College Prep Math A

Rick is taking a 1-mile ride on his bicycle. For each rotation of his tire, he travels 72 inches. How many rotations will his tire make during the 1-mile trip?

Answer
A
73 rotations
B
83 rotations
C
780 rotations
D
880 rotations

Explanation

One mile is 5,280 feet, and each foot is 12 inches, so the trip is 5,280 × 12 = 63,360 inches. Divide by 72 inches per tire rotation: 63,360 ÷ 72 = 880. The tire will make 880 rotations, which is choice D.
