A wheel on a bicycle has a diameter of 530 mm.
 

 
The wheel turns 12 times.

Approximately how many metres has the bicycle travelled?

\(B\)

Show Worked Solution

\(\text{Diameter}=530\ \text{mm}=0.530\ \text{m}\)   

\(\therefore\ \text{Distance}\) \(=12\times \text{circumference}\)
  \(=12\times \pi d\)
  \(=12\times \pi\times 0.530\)
  \(=19.9805\dots\)
  \(=20\ \text{m  (nearest m)}\)

\(\Rightarrow B\)
