the outer distance of a bicycle wheel is 95cm how many complete turns does the wheel make when the bicycle travels a distance of 350m?
95cm = .95m
350/.95 = ?
1mile
To find the number of complete turns the bicycle wheel makes, we need to calculate the number of times the bicycle's traveled distance is equal to the outer distance of the wheel.
First, let's convert the distance traveled from meters to centimeters since the outer distance of the wheel is given in centimeters.
350 meters = 35000 centimeters
Now, we can calculate the number of complete turns by dividing the distance traveled by the outer distance of the wheel:
Number of complete turns = Distance traveled / Outer distance of the wheel
Number of complete turns = 35000 cm / 95 cm
Calculating this division, we get:
Number of complete turns ≈ 368.42
Since we cannot have a fraction of a complete turn, we need to round the answer down to the nearest whole number:
Number of complete turns ≈ 368
Therefore, the bicycle wheel makes approximately 368 complete turns when the bicycle travels a distance of 350 meters.
