Answer:

88 Inches

Explanation:

For any bicycle tire of a given diameter, the approximate distance moved by the bicycle each time the wheel goes around is determined by the circumference of the circular wheel.

Since the diameter =28 Inches

Circumference =
\pi d =(22)/(7)X28 =88$ Inches

The bicycle moves 88 Inches forward each time the wheel goes around.
