Question

A bicycle tire makes 40 full revolutions while traveling where Scott is standing to where Steve is standing. If a tire has a diameter of 20 inches what is the approximate distance between where Steve is standing?

Answer 1

2513.27 inches

Explanation:

Given that:

Diameter = 20 inches

Number of revolutions = 40

For a complete revolution :

Distance traveled = Circumference = 2πr

2 * π * 20/2 = 62.831853 inches

Distance per revolution * number of revolutions

62.831853 * 40

= 2513.2741 inches

= 2513.27 inches
