Answer:


12,600\ ft

Explanation:

step 1

Find out the number of revolutions in one hour

we know that

The bicycle wheels are making 30 revolutions per minute

One hour are 60 minutes

so

using proportion


(30)/(1)\ (rev)/(min)=(x)/(60)\ (rev)/(min)\\\\x=60(30)\\\\x=1,800\ rev

step 2

Find out how many feet the bicycle will travel in one hour

we know that

A bicycle moves approximately 7 feet with each revolution and the number of revolutions in one hour is 1,800

so

Multiply the number of revolutions in one hour (1,800 rev) by 7 feet


(1,800)7=12,600\ ft
