If the center of the small gear is rigidly attached to the center of a bicycle wheel with a radius of 10 inches, how many inches will the bicycle travel with a single rotation of the large gear?

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

(7 x + 6 y) (49 x^2 - 42 x y + 36 y^2)

discussion:

the trick is to recognize that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 and, in general,

a^3 + b^3 =   (a + b) (a^2 - a b + b^2).

in our case

343x^3+216y^3   =   (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

so take a = 7x and b = 6y in the above equation to get the answer.

320ft

step-by-step explanation:

120 divided by 3 equals 40

40 times 4=160

160 times 2=320
