Shannon's bicycle travels 50 feet for 3 pedal turn

He travels


50ft=3\text{ pedal turn}

Converting 1 mile to feet


1\text{mile}=5280ft

The number of pedal turns needed to travel a mile is


\begin{gathered} 50ft=3\text{ pedal turn} \\ For\text{ 1mile (5280ft)=}(5280*3)/(50)=3168\text{ pedal turns} \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is 3168 pedal turns
