\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I don't know what sort of picture you have, but the description is not a penny-farthing bicycle. You have described a bicycle that has a much larger rear wheel, just the opposite of a penny-farthing and which sounds like a variant of the safety bicycles that were introduced in the late 1880s.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Be that as it may, use the radius of the front wheel to calculate the circumference of the front wheel. Divide 156 revolutions by this value to answer part a.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Create the proportion by dividing the radius of the front wheel by the radius of the rear wheel. Multiply this fraction times 156 to answer part b.\r
