Answer:

2449.2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance the bicycle wheel covers in one revolution is equal the the circumference of the bicycle wheel which is given by;

[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]

We substitute r=13 inches, which is the radius of the wheel [tex]\pi=3.14[/tex] into the formula to get;

[tex]C=2(3.14)(13)[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow C=81.64[/tex]

After 30 revolutions, the bicycle will cover;

[tex]81.64\times 30=2449.2in[/tex]

Answer:

=  2449.2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

1 revolution is equivalent to the circumference of the wheel

Circumference = 2πr

Radius = 13 inches

1 revolution = 2 × 3.14 × 13 inches

                   = 81.64 inches

30 revolutions = 81.64 inches × 30

                        =  2449.2 inches
