​POTM 5 - Team 8 The Earth’s Circumference A steel band is placed around the earth, snugly fit at the equator. (The equator is approximately 25,000 miles in circumference.) This band is cut, and a 36 inch piece of string is added to the steel band. This new circular band is placed around the earth, hovering above the earth’s surface, with its center being the center of the earth. A gap is created between the equator and this circular band.

How wide is this gap?

1 - I would create a proportion 25000/x= 63360miles/1 inch 2 - ​Hi. I'm kinda really confused. I understand that you have to convert miles to inches but after that I'm lost any ideas of what we should do?? 3 - Hello fellow marks!! i think we should create a proportion! maybe something like 25000min/x = 63360miles /1 inch Please help i am still very confused 4 -
