Question

4. The wheel of a bicycle has a 26-inch diameter. Each time the wheel turns a complete

revolution, the bicycle moves a distance equal to the circumference of the wheel. How
far has a rider traveled when the wheel has gone around 1,000 times?

Answer 1

Answer:2073.6 meters is distance traveled when the wheel has gone around 1,000 times.

Explanation:

Given:
Diameter = 26 inch (26*2.54=66.04 cm)
Radius = D/2 = 66.04/2=33.02
To find:
Circumference of the wheel = 2
`\pi`r

=2*3.14*33.02
= 207.36cm (approx)
Distance traveled when the wheel has gone around 1,000 times=207.36*1,000
= 207360cm (approx)

Distance in meters = 207360/1000 =2073.6
