Bradley Wiggins cycles 2.5km on a warm up. If the diameter of Bradley's bike wheel is 68cm, how many times (to the nearest whole rotation) will Bradley's bike wheel have rotated on this journey?

Answer:

1171 rotations

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance cycled = 2.5km

Diameter of bike wheel, d = 68cm = 0.68m

We obtain the Circumference of the bike wheel:

Circumference, C = πd

C = 3.14 * 0.68

C = 2.1352 m

The number of rotations Bradley's wheel will make will be :

Total distance cycled / Circumference

= (2.5 *1000)m / 2.1352m

= 2500 / 2.1352

= 1170.8505

= 1171 rotations
