A wheel on Deons bicycle is 0.9 m in diameter. Deon races the bicycle for 138 m. How many times does the wheel turn as the bicycle travels the distance.

Respuesta :

The wheel is going to turn for 48.8 times as the bicycle travels the distance.

What is a wheel?

A wheel is a circular device attached to the legs of moving machinery such as bicycle, motorcycle, and so on.

The turns of a wheel implies motion and it aids in rolling the machine.

Given data

diameter d = 0.9 m

distance travelled = 138 m

how many turns  the wheel made = x

solving for x

x = distance travelled / the circumference of the wheel

circumference of the wheel

circumference = 2 * pi * r

= 2 * 3.142 * r

diameter =2 * radius r

r = diameter / 2 = 0.9 / 2 = 0.45

circumference = 2 *  3.142 * 0.45

circumference = 2.828 m

x = 138 / 2.828

x = 48.798

Therefore the wheel will turn 48.798 times as the bicycle travels
