James has a bicycle. Each wheel has diameter 45cm. James cycles his bicycle in a straight line in the playground. The front wheel makes 15 complete revolutions. How far does the bicycle travel? Give your answer in metres.

21.21 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this, first we have to calculate the circumference (C) of the wheel:

C = π x diameter

Replacing with the values given:

C = π x 45 = 141.37 cm

Then we multiply it by the number of revolutions:

141.37 x 15 = 2,120.6 cm

Since  

1 cm = 0.01 m

2,120.6 x 0.01 = 21.21 meters
