When using the Speed= distance/time how would one go about plugging numbers in if the question in a wheel has the diameter of 7 and rotates 1700 revolution per minute. I know you use the Circunfrace which is 14pie then what do you do about the 1700 revolutions; where does that fit in? If any one can give me a clear cut answer about this and similar problems it would be greatly apprecitated.

What kind of pie? Apple? Cherry?
Incidentally, if the diameter is 7, the circumference is 7{\pi}, not 7pie.
Generally, desserts are not used in mathematical computations.

I'm sure I answered this this morning... oh well.
If the circumference is 7pi, and the wheel goes round 1700 times, then how much distance has the wheel moved?
It will move this distance in a minute.
