The diameter of each wheel of a bicycle is 26 inches. If you are traveling at a speed of 35 miles per hour on this bicycle, through how many revolutions per minute are the wheels turning?
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "35 mi/hr * 5280 ft/mi * 12 in/ft * 1 hr/60 min = 18060 in/min
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Each rev of the wheels moves the bike the wheel's circumference.
\n" ); document.write( "C = pi*d = 26*pi inches/rev
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "RPM = rev/min = (18060 in/min)/(26pi in/rev)
\n" ); document.write( "= 9030/(13*pi) rev/min
\n" ); document.write( "=~ 221.1 RPM\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
