Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: 198 meters
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
We translate wheel rotations to linear travel using the circumference. With a diameter given in centimeters, careful unit handling ensures the final distance is in meters as requested.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Use C = π * d (in meters). Distance L = N * C. With π ≈ 22/7, the arithmetic becomes simple.
Step-by-Step Solution:
C = π * 0.63 ≈ (22/7) * 0.63 = 1.98 mL = 100 * 1.98 = 198 m
Verification / Alternative check:
Using π ≈ 3.1416 gives C ≈ 1.976 m and L ≈ 197.6 m; rounded to the nearest listed value, 198 m is correct.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
99 m and 63 m correspond to using radius or single-turn distance; 136 m and 158.4 m do not match any consistent π approximation for 100 turns.
Common Pitfalls:
Leaving units in centimeters or using 2πr inconsistently with a diameter input; rounding too early per revolution.
Final Answer:
198 meters
