Answer 1

Answer: 316.8 pedals

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

$\text{ 50 feet } = \text{ 3 pedal turns}$

$\text{ 1 feet } = \frac{3}{50} \text{ pedal turns}$

$\text{ 5280 feet } =5280\times \frac{3}{50} \text{ pedal turns}$

$\text{ 5280 feet } =\frac{15840}{50} \text{ pedal turns}$

$\text{ 5280 feet } =316.8 \text{ pedal turns}$

$\text{ 1 miles } =316.8 \text{ pedal turns}$

⇒ In one miles there are 316.8 pedals.
