Lin’s bike travels 100 meters when her wheels rotate 55 times. what is the circumference of her wheels?

Using formula to calculate the circumference of wheel:

where

D is the distance bike travel

n is the number of times rotation

C is the circumference of the wheel

As per the statement:

Lin’s bike travels 100 meters when her wheels rotate 55 times.

here, n = 55 rotation and D = 100 meter.

then by definition:

meter

Therefore, the circumference of her wheel is,

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:

answer: 48
