Question

The diameter if a bicycle wheel is 26in. About how many revolutions does the wheel make during a ride of 500in? Use 3.14 for pie

A.) 6.12
B.) 3.06
C.) 81.64
D.) 163.28

Answer 1

To find the circumference we do pie x diameter which is. 3.14x26=81.64. Then to find the number of revolutions we do distance traveled divided by circumference which is 500/81.64=6.1244 revolutions. That’s answer choice A.

Answer 2

The bicycle wheel makes approximately 6.12 revolutions during a ride of 500in.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of revolutions the bicycle wheel makes during a ride of 500in, we first need to find the circumference of the wheel. The circumference of a circle can be found using the formula: circumference = 2 * pi * radius. Since the diameter of the wheel is 26in, the radius is half of the diameter, which is 13in. Therefore, the circumference of the wheel is approximately 2 * 3.14 * 13 = 81.64in.

Next, we can use the formula: number of revolutions = distance / circumference. The distance is given as 500in. Plugging in the values, we have: number of revolutions = 500 / 81.64. Calculating this, the number of revolutions is approximately 6.12.

Therefore, the answer is A.) 6.12.
