A street is 149m long is covered in snow. City workers are using a snowplow to clear the street. The snowplow has tires that are 1.7m in diameter. How many times does a tire have to turn in traveling the length of the street

Approximately 28 times

Step-by-step explanation:

The tires are circular in shape.

We first need to find the circumference of the tire and then divide the length of the road by that circumference.

The circumference of a circle is given as:

C = πD

where D = diameter

The diameter of the tires is 1.7 m. Its circumference is therefore:

C = π * 1.7 = 5.34 m

Therefore, the number of times that the tire has to turn in traveling the length of the street is:

149 / 5.34 = 27.9 ≅ 28
