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.
