Question from Hom, a student:
A semi is driving cross country at 70mph.
The tires on the semi have a 3 foot diameter.
What is the linear speed in feet per minute?

Hom,

Unless something's got omitted here, one of the pieces of information is unnecessary. Does that help?

Good Hunting!

PS: For unit conversions try Google:

[70 mph in feet per minute]
