Question

Jada's bike wheels have a diameter of 20 inches. How far does she travel if the wheels rotate 37 times? REST IN THE PICTURE.

Answer 1

We will determine how far Jada traveled after 37 rotations of the wheels as follows:

First, we will determine the circumference of the wheel:

$c=2\pi r\Rightarrow c=2\pi(10)$$\Rightarrow c=20\pi$

Now, we determine the distance traveled:

$d=37\cdot20\pi\Rightarrow d=740\pi$$\Rightarrow d\approx2325$

So, Jada traveled 740pi inches or approximately 2325 inches.
