Question

Paul goes for a short cycle ride each wheel on his bike has a radius of 27cm his distance counter tells him the wheel has rotated 650 times find how far he has travelled in metres

Answer 1

Paul has traveled a distance of 1100.04 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance Paul has traveled, we need to first find the circumference of the wheel. The circumference of a circle is given by the formula: C = 2 * pi * r, where r is the radius of the circle. In this case, the radius is 27 cm.

So, the circumference of the wheel is C = 2 * 3.14 * 27 = 169.56 cm. Now, to find the distance traveled, we need to multiply the circumference by the number of rotations: Distance = C * number of rotations = 169.56 * 650 cm.

Since the distance is given in centimeters, we need to convert it to meters. There are 100 cm in 1 meter, so the distance in meters is 169.56 * 650 / 100 = 1100.04 meters.
