Sage Creek 6th grade answered the following questions: How long would it take for a Hot Wheels car to travel one mile? and How many rotations would one of the wheels make in one mile? Students tested, measured and calculated to come up with approximatly nine minutes to travel a mile and 42,240 rotations per mile. It was a fun day in math class.
