Question

A bicycle wheel makes five rotations. The bicycle travels 41.87 ft. Find the diameter of the wheel in inches. Use 3.14 for pi. The diameter of the wheel is about nothing in.

Answer 1

2.66687898

Explanation:

Answer 2

The diameter is 32.04 Inches

Explanation:

If the Bicycle makes 5 rotations and it equals 41.87 ft

Then 1 rotation around the circumference is

41.87/5 = 8.374 ft

Circumference =
`\pi d`

8.374 = 3.14*d

Divide both sides by 3.14

d = 8.374/3.14

d = 2.67 ft

To convert feet to inches, we multiply by 12

d = 2.67*12 inches

d = 32.04 Inches
