Answer:
Mike's bicycle covers 77 inches in one turn.
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance a bicycle travel is given by the relation;
[tex]Distance=3\frac{1}{7} \times diameter[/tex]
If Mike's bicycle has a diameter of [tex]24\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inches;
Then the distance it covers in each turn is;
[tex]Distance=3\frac{1}{7}\times 24\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
We convert to improper fractions to obtain;
[tex]Distance=\frac{22}{7}\times \frac{49}{2}[/tex]
We cancel out the common factors to get;
[tex]Distance=\frac{11}{1}\times \frac{7}{1}[/tex]
[tex]Distance=77[/tex]
Therefore Mike's bicycle covers 77 inches in one turn.
