Problema Solution

the diameter of a bicycle wheel is 2 feet. About how many revolutions does the wheel make to travel 2 kilometers

Answer provided by our tutors

the number of revolutions = 2 km / circumference


1 km = 3280.84 ft

2 km = 2*3280.84 ft = 6561.81 ft


circumference = 2*(2/2)*pi


circumference = 2*pi


the number of revolutions = 6561.81 / (2*pi)


the number of revolutions = 6561.81 / (2*3.14)


the number of revolutions = 1045
