Answer:

The diameter is 32.04 Inches

Explanation:

If the Bicycle makes 5 rotations and it equals 41.87 ft

Then 1 rotation around the circumference is

41.87/5 = 8.374 ft

Circumference =
$\pi d$

8.374 = 3.14*d

Divide both sides by 3.14

d = 8.374/3.14

d = 2.67 ft

To convert feet to inches, we multiply by 12

d = 2.67*12 inches

d = 32.04 Inches
