    about 26.6 times

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The circumference of the ball is found from ...

    C = 2πr = 2π (4.3 in) ≈ 27.02 in

    There are 12 inches per foot, so the 60 foot distance of interest is ...

    (60 ft) * (12 in/ft) = 120 in

    In terms of ball circumference, that distance is ...

    (120 in) / (27.02 in/rotation) ≈ 26.6 rotations

    If the ball starts rotating at the foul line, it will turn about 26.6 times before reaching the head pin.
