Answer

22 rpm

Work Step by Step

Radius $r=\frac{14\,ft}{2}=7\,ft$ Linear velocity $v=11\,mi/h=\frac{11\,mi}{h}\times\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi}\times\frac{1\,h}{60\,min}$ $=968\,ft/min$ Angular velocity $\omega=\frac{v}{r}=\frac{968\,ft/min}{7\,ft}=44\times\frac{22}{7}\,rad/min$ $=44\pi\,rad/min\times\frac{1\, revolution}{2\pi\,rad}$ $=22\,rpm$
