Question 1

Answer 1

Answer:

The bike will travel approximately 1,272 inches or 106 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of a circle (wheel) can be used to find the circumference, which is the total perimeter around the wheel. The formula used to find circumference is: C = dπ, where 'd' is the diameter and π = 3.14. In this case C = 27 x 3.14 ≈ 84.78 inches. Since this measurement represents the perimeter of wheel, we would need to multiply this number by 15 in order to find the total distance after 15 complete rotations of the wheel: 84.78 x 15 ≈ 1,272 inches. 1,272 inches is a large measurement, so we can easily convert this to feet by dividing by the number of inches per foot, or 12: 1272/12 = 106 feet.
