Question

    A giant circular wheel has a diameter of 14 metres. In how many revolutions will the wheel cover a total of 4.4 km?

    A 110 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 130 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Radius of the giant wheel = 14 ÷ 2 = 7 metres Circumference of the giant wheel = 2 × π × radius = 2 × (22/7) × 7 = 44 metres So, number of rotations to cover 4.4 km i.e. 4400 metres = 4400 ÷ 44 = 100
