Answer:

The wheels turn in about 3770 times in 5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we have to go 5 miles to yards

1 mile = 1760 feet

5 miles = 5 * 5280 feet

5 miles = 26400ft

now we calculate how many yards it takes to get the wheels turn in 1 time

140ft /20 = 7ft

finally we divide the number of yards by the 7 yards and we will get how many times It turn the wheels

26400ft / 7ft = 3770.43

The wheels turn in about 3770 times in 5 miles
