Answer:approximately 30 times

Explanation:

The wheel on Carmen's bike circular in shape and has a diameter of 1.1 meter.

Radius = diameter/2 = 1.1/2 = 0.55 meter.

When the wheel completes one revolution, the distance covered is equal to the circumference of the wheel.

The formula for determining the circumference of the wheel is expressed as

Circumference = 2πr

Where π is a constant whose value is 3.14

Circumference = 2 × 3.14 × 0.55 = 3.454 metres.

Carmen races the bicycle for 93m. Therefore, the number of times that the wheel of the bicycle turns as it travels this distance would be

93 / 3.454 = 26.9 times
