Question

the length of the radius of a motorcycle wheel is 11 inches. which of the following is closest to the distance the wheel will travel in 5 turns of the wheel?

Answer 1

First, we have to calculate the circumference (c) of the wheel:

C = π x Diameter

Diameter = 2 x radius = 2 x 11 = 22 in

Replacing:

C = π x 22 = 69.12 in

Multiply it by 5 ( 5 turns)

69.12 x 5 = 345.58 inches

Distance = 345.58 in
