Your question in incomplete.
You need to provide a distance to calculate linear velocity corresponding to that distance.
Do you have a diagram or picture you can post?
Please repost with additional information.

The formula is

v = ω•r

But you will need to know the radius of the wheel.
If you know some other given information about the wheel,
you can tell me that information in the thank-you note
form below, and I'll get back to you by email.
