Answer:

241,274.32 inches

Explanation:

How far will he travel if the rear wheel makes 1200 revolutions on the road?

Since the rear wheel makes one revolution in the distance of a circumference of a circle, C with diameter, d = 16 inches

C = πd²/4

So, the distance, travelled in 1200 revolutions is D = 1200 × C = 1200πd²/4

Substituting d = 16 into D, we have

D = 1200πd²/4

D = 1200π(16)²/4

D = 76800π

D = 241,274.32 inches
