Question

The wheels on Jason's dirt bike measure 19 inches in diameter. How many revolutions will the wheels make when Jason rides for 500 feet? Use 3.14 for ?. Round to the nearest whole revolution.

Answer 1

Answer: 101 revolutions

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: The total number of revolutions is 101.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the wheels on Jason's dirt bike measure 19 inches in diameter.

We are to find the number of revolutions that the wheels make when Jason rides for 500 feet.

We know

1 foot = 12 inches.

So, 500 feet = 12 × 500 = 6000 inches.

Now, diameter of the wheels is given by

d = 19 inches.

So, the circumference of the wheels will be

`C=\pi d=3.14*19=59.66~\textup{inches}.`

Therefore, to ride 500 feet, The number of revolutions that the wheels make is given by

`n=(6000)/(59.66)=100.56989...`

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the required number of revolutions will be 101.

Thus, the total number of revolutions is 101.
