Question

You are riding your bicycle that has tires which are 26 inches in diameter. How many times will the wheels need to go around in order to travel 100 feet?

Answer 1

8 times. every spin gets you at least two feet. so for every one spin you’re gaining 2 feet. if you multiply 26 times 8 you should get 208. if you divide that by 2 you get 104. one more spin would get you 130 which is too much and one less would get you 114 which is too less. so your answer is 8 times
