A bike tire advertises that it is designed to be used for at least 4,000 km of riding. If the diameter of the tire is 0.7 m, how many rotations of the tire against the ground is that guaranteed, to the nearest thousand? There are 1,000 meters in a kilometer.

Answer:

  • 1820000 rotations

Explanation:

Circumference of the tire:

  • C = πd = 3.14*0.7 = 2.198 m

Number of rotations:

  • 4000*1000/2.198 = 1820000 (rounded)
