    The circumference of a circle is (pi) x (the diameter).

    If the diameter of the wheel is 18 inches (1.5 feet), then its circumference is

    (pi) x (1.5 feet) = 1.5π feet.

    Every time the wheel rotates once, the car moves 1.5π feet.

    1 mile = 5,280 feet

    In order for the car to move 5,280 feet, the wheel has to rotate

    (5,280 / 1.5π) times.

    (5,280 / 1.5π) = 1,120.4508 times

    Rounded to the nearest whole number: 1,120 revolutions
