Question

The spoke of a wheel is 35 cm. How far does the wheel travel in 1 rotation. Give your answer in meters and use pi = 22/7.

Answer 1

2.2 m

Explanation:

Assuming that spoke refers to the radius (r) of the wheel, you can determine the circumference of the wheel using 2(pi)(r).

2 x (22/7) x 35cm

= 220cm

As this answer is in cm, it needs to be converted to m to be a correct answer. As 1m = 100cm, 220cm x 0.01 = 2.2m
