Math question here. The lawn mower blade spins at 3200 rpm's. Someone told me this is 380mph. It does not seem right. How can you convert 3200rev/minute into (x)miles/hour?

Miles=distance=/=revs

Healp!
depends how far from the center it is you are talking.

v = rw

v = velocity
r = radius
w = rotational veolcity or something like that.

This is the impossible question. No can answer!
