    In order to find the number of revolutions it takes for the bike to travel 2 km, we need to find the circumference of the wheel first. Essentially, the distance of one rotation of the wheel is the circumference.

    πd = 2 π

    2 π = 2*3.14 = 6.28 feet

    Since we know that the circumference of the wheel is 6.28 feet, we simply need to have it divided by 2 kilometers:

    2 km / 6.28 feet = 2 (3280) / 6.28

    We have to convert km to ft.

    6560 / 6.28 = 1044.6

    Round up:

    1044.6 = 1045

    The bike needs about 1045 revolutions to travel 2 km
