A tractor's front wheel has a circumference of 2 m and its rear wheel has a circumference of 4 m. When the tractor moves forward, the front wheel makes 60 more turns than the rear wheel over the same distance. What distance (in metres) does the tractor travel?

Question

Accepted Answer

240 m. Let distance = D. Front turns = D/2, rear turns = D/4. D/2 - D/4 = 60 => D/4 = 60 => D = 240 m.
