Solve The diameter of a bicycle wheel is 27 in. How many revolutions does the wheel make when the bicycle travels 100 ft?

The perimeter (circumference) of the wheel is:

P

=

2

π

r

=

π

d

=

π

(

27

)

=

27

π

in

This is also the distance the bicycle travels with each revolution of the wheel.

To figure out the number of revolutions of the wheel over a distance of

10

miles, we convert the

10

miles to inches and divide it by

P

:

1

mile

=

63360

inches

10

(

63360

)

=

633600

inches

(this is the number of revolutions in one hour)

We divide this by

60

to get the number of revolutions per minutes or

R

P

M

:

step-by-step explanation:

i have done this all on a piece of paper but idk how to put it on here cuz it needs to be drawn

9 sandwiches per hour

step-by-step explanation:

when we have a rate, we want a 1 in the denominator

27/3 = 9

27 sandwiches/ 3 hours = 9 sandwiches/hour
