Given :
Circumference of tire = 88 in
Number of revolutions = 34,000
Distance covered = 34,000 × 88 in
= 2,992,000
We know, 1 feet = 12 inches
So, 2,992,000/12 = 249,333.33 feet
We know, 1 mile = 5280 feet
So, 249,333.33/ 5280 = 47.22 miles
Thus, vehicle will travel 47.22 miles when the tires make 34 ,000 revolutions.
