Imagine coating your front wheel in paint, then pushing it just enough forward for the wheel to go all the way around. How long is that line of paint going to be? When all's said and done, it should be <em>just as long as the wheel's circumference</em>. One full revolution of your bicycle's wheel moves you <em>one circumference forward.</em> When the question asks "how many revolutions does the wheel make to travel 2 kilometers," what it's really asking is <em>"how many circumferences can fit in 2 kilometers?"</em>.

Before we find, that, we'll need to find <em>what the circumference is in the first place</em>. π, the circle constant, is defined as the ratio between the circumference of a circle and that circle's diameter. Put more compactly, π = c/d. In our case, d = 2 ft, so we can substitute that in to find that π = c/2, or c = 2π ft.

Dividing the total distance 3280 ft by 2π ft, we find that there our wheel makes exactly 3280/2π = 1640/π revolutions, or, using 3.14 as an approximation for π, approximately 1640/3.14 ≈ 522 revolutions.

A food service in the mall prepares free samples of chicken to give out during dinner time. One hour later, the food service has
jeka94

The food service gave out 80 samples, which is 4 fewer than 70% of the total number of samples they prepared. Lets make x the total number of samples they prepared.

So lets write it as an equation

80 = (70% of x) -4

70% converts to a decimal by moving the decimal point 2 spaces up, so it is 0.7

80 = 0.7x-4

Add 4 to both sides of the equation

84 = 0.7x

Divide both sides by 0.7 to isolate the x

x = 120

The food service prepared 120 samples.
