Question

A bicycle tire has a diameter of 62cm. What is the distance the bicycle tire travels in 10 revolutions?

Answer 1

1948 cm

Explanation:

First, calculate the circumference of the wheel with tire. Since C = πd, the circumference in this particular case is C = π(62 cm), or approx. 194.8 cm.

Each time the wheel turns, the bike moves forward 194.8 cm.

If the wheel turns 10 times, the bike moves forward 1948 cm.
