Question

Avi's pet hamster Chubby loves to run in his hamster wheel. During one "race", Avi counts 100 rotations of the wheel. She wants to know how far Chubby ran, so she measures the diameter of the wheel and finds that it is 20 cm. How far did Chubby run? Round your answer to the nearest cm

Answer 1

its 6280!

the answer above is wrong. this answer is from khan academy. :)

Answer 2

Chubby ran a distance of 6,283 m

Explanation:

The length of one run is simply equal to the circumference of the circle

Mathematically, C = pi * d

C = 22/7 * 20 = 62.83 cm

So if one rotation is a distance of 62.83 cm, then 100 rotations will be a distance of;

62.83 * 100 = 6,283 m
