well u first of all know that distance = velocity x time, which means time is = 480/60 meaning u were driving for 12 hrs

anonymous · Answer

now u take 480 miles times 2580 feet times 12 inches to get 14860800 inches traveled and divide by the diameter times pie gives u the number of rotations

anonymous · Answer

480/60 is 8

anonymous · Answer
