Stan drove \[3300 \text{ m}\] to the grocery store. The tires on his truck are \[2.2 \text{ m}\] in circumference.

**How many rotations did each tire make on Stan's drive?**

 rotations

**Show Calculator**


To find the number of rotations each tire made, we can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Number of Rotations} = \frac{\text{Distance Traveled}}{\text{Circumference of the Tire}}
\]

Given:
- Distance Traveled = \(3300 \text{ m}\)
- Circumference of the Tire = \(2.2 \text{ m}\)

Now, substitute the values:

\[
\text{Number of Rotations} = \frac{3300 \text{ m}}{2.2 \text{ m}}
\]

Let's calculate this:

\[
\text{Number of Rotations} = \frac{3300}{2.2} \approx 1500
\]

So, each tire made approximately 1500 rotations during Stan's drive.
