Question

A bicycle tire has a radius of 13 1/4 inches. How far will the bicycle travel in 40 rotations of the tire? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

the bicycle will travel 277.5 feet or 3,330.1 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

the circumference(distance around a tire) is calculated by multiplying a circles diameter by pi. the diameter is twice the length of the radius.

so if you multiply 13 1/4 by 2 you get 26 1.5 if you multiply that by pi than you get the circumference. then multiply this by 40 to get the inches traveled and divide that by 12 to get the number of feet traveled.
