circumference of wheel:
2(pi)(r)
2(3.14)(20)

125.6 inches
.
360 rev/min * 125.6 inches/rev
45216 inches/min
45216 inches/min * 60 min/hour
2712960 inches/hour
2712960 inches/hour * 1feet/12inches
226080 feet/hour
226080 feet/hour * 1mile/5280feet
42.82 miles/hour
rounded to nears 10 mph:
42 miles/hour
