 The diameter of a bicycle wheel is 26 inches . How many times did the wheel revolve when the bicycle travels one mile? Round your answer to the nearest unit. ( hint) one mile equals 5,280 ft)

-------

circumference = 26pi inches = (26/pi/12) = (13/6)pi feet

-----

# of revolutions = 5280/(13pi/6) = 776 when rounded
