To find the distance the bicycle travels in feet, we first need to calculate the circumference of the wheel, which is the distance the wheel travels in one revolution.
Circumference = π x diameter
Circumference = π x 35 in
Circumference ≈ 3.14159 x 35
Circumference ≈ 109.955 in
Since the bicycle wheel makes seven revolutions, the total distance traveled is:
Total distance = Circumference x number of revolutions
Total distance = 109.955 in x 7 revolutions
Total distance = 769.685 in
To convert this distance to feet, we need to divide by 12 inches (since 1 foot = 12 inches):
Total distance = 769.685 in ÷ 12 in/ft
Total distance ≈ 64.14 ft
Therefore, the bicycle travels approximately 64.14 feet.
A bicycle wheel makes seven revolutions. Determine how far the bicycle travels in feet. The diameter of the wheel is 35 in
