Algebra.Com's Answer #690124 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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( " \n" ); document.write( " |
