In how many revolution can a bicycle eel of diameter 4.9meters cover a distance of 46.2 kilometers?

1 answer

To calculate the number of revolutions the bicycle wheel would make in order to cover a distance of 46.2 kilometers, we first need to calculate the circumference of the wheel.

The circumference of a circle (in this case, the wheel) is given by the formula:
C = πd
where C is the circumference, π is a constant approximately equal to 3.14159, and d is the diameter of the circle.

Given that the diameter of the bicycle wheel is 4.9 meters, we can calculate the circumference:
C = π(4.9) = 15.407 meters

Now, we need to calculate the number of revolutions the wheel would make to cover a distance of 46.2 kilometers:
Number of revolutions = Distance ÷ Circumference
Number of revolutions = 46.2 km ÷ 0.015407 km (converting meters to kilometers)
Number of revolutions = 3000

Therefore, the bicycle wheel would make 3000 revolutions to cover a distance of 46.2 kilometers.
