The forewheel of a carriage makes 4 more revolutions than the hind wheel in going 96 feet. But, if the circumference of the forewheel were 3/2 as great and of the hind wheel 4/3 as great, then the forewheel would make only 2 revolutions more than the hind wheel in going the same distance. What is the circumference of each wheel?
