Answer:
101 revolutions
Explanation:
Given: The diameter of the bike wheel is 19 inches.
We need to find the circumference of the wheel.
The circumference of the wheel = πd
π = 3.14 and d = 19
Now plug in these values in the above formula, we get
The circumference of the wheel = 3.14*19
= 59.66 inches
We need to find number of revolutions of wheel to cover the distance of 500 feet.
Now we have to convert 500 feet to inches.
1 foot = 12 inches.
500 feet = 500 *12 = 6000 inches.
The number of revolution = 6000 / 59.66
= 100.56
When we round of to the nearest whole number, we get 101
To cover the distance of 500 feet, the wheel must be rotate 101 times.
