See a solution process below:
Explanation:
First, we need to determine the circumference of the bike's tire. The formula for the circumference of a circle is:
Substituting the radius of
So, ever time the tire rotates it travels
To find how far it travels if it rotates 100 times we multiply the circumference by
We can approximate
The bike would travel 7536 inches
