Answer:

75.3982236862 or 75.4

Explanation:

The distance of one rotation would be the circumference of the bicycle wheel. To find circumference of a circle the equation is 2πr

1) 2 x π = 6.28318530718

2) 6.28318530718 x 12 = 75.3982236862

3) To 1 decimal point the answer would be 75.4

Hope this helps, have a great day!
