Bill's bike wheels have a 26-in. diameter. The odometer on his bike counts the number of times a wheel rotates during a trip. If the odometer counts 200 rotations during the trip from Bill's house to school, how many feet does Bill travel? Round to the nearest foot.

Respuesta :

Answer:

1361 ft.

Explanation:

The circumference of the wheel times the number of rotations equals distance travelled

[tex]C = d\pi[/tex]

Answer:

  • ≈ 1361 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

One rotation is same distance as:

  • C = Ï€d = 3.14*26 = 81.64 in

Total distance traveled:

  • 200*81.64 = 16328 in

Convert inches to feet:

  • 12 in = 1 ft
  • 16328 in = 16328/12 ft = 1360.66666667 ft ≈ 1361 ft
