Bicycles in the late 1800s looked very different than they do today, as you can see by the picture above. Using our knowledge of circumference, calculate how many rotations the front tire makes after travelling 600 feet? (Remember, 12 inches = 1 foot)(Round your answer to the nearest whole number) (Do not include units in your answer)
