The speed of the car was #98.17# miles/hour

Explanation:

#r=11# inches , revolution #=1500# per minute

In #1# revolution the car advances #2*pi*r# inches

#r=11 :. 2 pi r= 22 pi# inches .

In #1500# revolution/minute the car advances #22*1500*pi#

inches #= (22*1500*pi*60)/(12*3*1760)~~98.17(2 dp)#mile/hour

The speed of the car was #98.17# miles/hour [Ans]
