Question

A bicycle’s wheel has a radius of 32.5 cm. What distance will the bicycle travel if the wheel turns 100,000 times?

Answer 1

I've never done this type of problem before so I might be wrong but I think the answer is 20420352.25 cm

I just took the circumference (204.2035225) and multipled 100,000 which seems too simple to be right

Answer 2

Answer:

204.28 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of the wheel = 2(3.142)(32.5) = 204.23 cm

1 turn = 204.23 cm

100,000 turns = 204.23 x 100,000 = 2043000 cm

2043000 cm  = 204,230 m = 204.28 km
