Hello, I have a math problem I need to solve:
"The front wheels of a truck have a diameter of [x] feet, while the back wheels have a diameter of [x+1] feet. If the truck travels one mile, how many more revolutions (rotations) will a front wheel make more than a back wheel?"
X represents a number, I don't remember what. Could you please tell me how to solve the problem? Am I supposed to...
1. Find the number of feet in a mile, divide it by the circumference of each wheel and find the difference between the two or
2. Find the number of feet in a mile, divide it the diameter of each wheel and find the difference?
Thank you, please just answer the question as either method one or method two.
