25 times does her front bicycle wheel turn all the way around .

Explanation:

Here we have , Each wheel of Gia's bicycle is 24 inches in diameter. Gia rides her bike 1,884 feet. We need to find that the nearest whole number, how many times does her front bicycle wheel turn all the way around . Gia rides a total of 1884 feet which is basically the sum of circumference of wheel many times . Let's calculate perimeter of wheel:


Perimeter = 2\pi r


Perimeter = 2\pi r


Perimeter = 2\pi ((D)/(2) )


Perimeter = \pi D


Perimeter = (3.14) 24


Perimeter = 75.36 inches

Number of times bicycle turn =
(1884)/(perimeter)

⇒ Number of times bicycle turn =
(1884)/(perimeter)

⇒ Number of times bicycle turn =
(1884)/(75.36)

⇒ Number of times bicycle turn =
25

Therefore, 25 times does her front bicycle wheel turn all the way around .
