A spinner travels around a circle. The radius is 3 inches. Mike spins the spinner and it travels completely around the circle 5 times. About how far did the tip of the spinner travel?

94.2 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the circle can be determined by

length 'l' = 2πr

l = 2 x 3.14 x 3 = 18.84 inches

As the spinner and it travels completely around the circle 5 times, therefore, we'll have the distance of

distance = l x 5

distance = 18.84 x 5 = > 94.2 inches

Thus, the tip of the spinner traveled 94.2 inches.

The spinner travelled 94.2 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question we first need to calculate the length of the circle, that is given by the following formula:

length = 2*pi*r

length = 2*3.14*3 = 18.84 inches

Since the spinner revolved around the circle 5 times, the distance travelled by the tip is the length of the circle multiplied by 5, as shown below:

distance = length*5

distance = 18.84*5 = 94.2 inches

The spinner travelled 94.2 inches.
