esshotwired · Answer

you have to find the circumference of the circle. the formula is pi times diameter

If a pebble is stuck in the tire's treads, about how far will the pebble travel with each rotation of the tire? ---> The treads are the rubber parts of the bicycle ~

charlotte123 · Answer

It's asking you to find how far the pebble will travel with each rotation of the tire ~ Having a diameter of 26 inches ~

charlotte123 · Answer

26 * Pi = 81.6814089933.... So the circumference of the circle (tire) is about 81 inches ~

Well.......I think ya got it now LOL
 Good Luck!

esshotwired · Answer

actually it would be more like 82 bc if you rounded using 81.68 it would round to 82, but close enough :)

anonymous · Answer

wait... so first find the circumference. Then what? @esshotwired @charlotte123

esshotwired · Answer

just find the circumference and thats the answer

anonymous · Answer

So yes, I got 81.64 as the circumference. 
OH I thought you would have to divide by 2 or something to see how far it would go lol @esshotwired

esshotwired · Answer

oh haha. yup but make sure you have the ending unit correct

anonymous · Answer

81.64 @esshotwired

esshotwired · Answer
