Answer: 100,480 in. or 8398.23 ft.
Step-by-step explanation: In identifying the distance in terms of how far the wheel traveled, we must solve for the circumference, then multiply the product by the number of rotations.
Circumference (C) = 2πr
In this formula, r symbolizes the radius. Now to solve:
C = 2(π)(16)
C = 32π inches
Then, we multiply this by 1,000:
Distance (D) = 32π × 1,000 = 32,000π inches
Hence, after 1,000 rotations, the wheel has traveled 32,000π inches, or approximately 8,398.23 feet.
