Answer:

88 inches

Explanation:

Well the bike will travel the distance of the circumference of the tire.

Circumference is 2*pi*radius or pi*diameter since the diameter is twice the radius

I guess they want is to use 22/7 for pi, which is weird, but whatever.

C = pi*d

C = 22/7*28

This gets you
C = (616)/(7) or 88 inches
