How do you answer the question, A 26-inch diameter bicycle tire rotates 500 times. How many feet does the bicycle travel?
--------
Circumference = pi*diameter = 26pi inches
------
Divide by 12 to get the circumference in feet::
Circumference = 26pi/12 = (13/6)pi feet
-----
Multiply by 500 to get the distance::
distance travels for 500 revs = 500(13/6)pi ft = 3403.39 ft
==========
