Question

Each wheel of gias bicycle is 24 inches in diameter gia rides her bike 1,884 feet to the nearest whole number how many times does her front bicycle wheel turn all the way around

Answer 1

300 turns

Explanation:

The diameter of the wheel is given as 24in.

We find the circumference(distance covered by one revolution):

`A=\pi D\\\\=\pi * 24\\\\=24\pi \ in`

Given the total distance covered is 1884ft, convert the distance to feet and divide by the wheel's circumference to find the number of turns:

`1884ft=22608 \ in\\\\Turns=(distance)/(circumference)\\\\=(22608)/(24\pi)\\\\=299.84\approx300\ turns`

Hence, the front wheel makes approximately 300 turns.
