Question

a bicycle tire is 28 inches in diameter. approximately how far does the bicycle move forward each time the wheel goes around? (use 22/7 as an approximation for pi.)

Answer 1

ANSWER

$88 \: inches$

EXPLANATION

The given bicycle has a tyre that is 28 inches in diameter.

How far the bicycle moves forward each time the wheel goes around is the circumference of the bicycle tyre.

This is calculated using the formula:

$C =\pi \: d$

We substitute the diameter and

$\pi = \frac{22}{7}$

$C = \frac{22}{7} \times 28$

This simplifies to

$C =22 \times 4$

$88 \: inches$

Answer 2

Answer: 88 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A bicycle tire is 28 inches in diameter. approximately.

To find the distance traveled by the bicycle each time the wheel goes around we need to find the circumference of the tire.

The circumference of a circle : $\pi d$, where d is the diameter of the circle.

Now, the circumference of tire : $\dfrac{22}{7} \times(28)=88$

Hence, the distance traveled by the bicycle each time the wheel goes around  =88 inches.
