A wheel on Amanda's bicycle is 0.3 m in diameter. Amanda races the bicycle for 35 m. How many times does the wheel turn as the bicycle travels this distance?

Use the value 3.14 for π. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Do not round any intermediate steps.

Answer: 37.2

Explanation:

The circumference of the bike is
0.3\pi \approx 0.3(3.14)=0.942 m.

Dividing this by the 35 m traveled, we get the bike turned
(35)/(0.942) \approx 37.2
