Answer:
50.2 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The wheel of a tricycle is circular in shape.
The circumference of a circle = 2πr
For Monice
Monica's bicycle wheel has a radius of 16 inches.
The circumference of her bicycle wheel = 2 × π × 16
= 100.53096491 inches
Approximately = 100.5 inches
For Kevin
Kevin's tricycle wheel has a radius of 8 inches.
The circumference of his wheel =
2 × π × 8
= 50.265482457 inches
Approximately = 50.3 inches
How many times larger is the circumference of Monica's wheel that the circumference of Kevin's tricycle wheel?
This is calculated as:
Circumference of Monica's wheel - Circumference of Kevin's wheel
= 100.5 inches - 50.3 inches
= 50.2 inches
Hence: Monica's wheel is 50.2 inches larger than Kevin's wheel
