Answer:
3.5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
create a proportion:
inches / miles = inches / miles
let 'x' = distance in inches
<u>1/4</u> = <u> x </u>
18 252
18x = 252(1/4)
18x = 63
x = 63 / 18
x = 3.5
"One rotation" would be the circumference of the wheel, which is
C = 2*pi*r, or (here) C = 2*pi*(8 inches) = 16*pi inches.
1 ft
Convert this to feet: 16*pi inches times ---------------
12 inches
Here "inches" cancels out and you are left with (4/3)pi ft.
So, one rotation of the wheel moves you and your bike forward (4/3)pi ft.
Divide this into 700 feet:
700 ft 2100
------------- = --------- rotations = 525 rotations (answer)
(4/3) pi ft 4
