document.write( "150 revolutions of the chain wheel become 300 revolutions of the back tire.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The back tire has the diameter of 24 inches or 2 feet, so the circumference is   = 2*pi feet.\r\n" );

document.write( "300 revolutions of the tire give the distance 300*2*pi = 600*pi feet.     ANSWER\r\n" );
