There are 5280 feet in a mile; for my bike to travel one mile, the front
tire must revolve 790 times.......

how many times will it revolve within one hour if it is traveling at 60
miles per hour

how many times will it revolve in one second, at 60 miles per hour

Thanks for your help and I will let you know what the majority of the
answers are........
At 60 mph, it is going one mile per minute. So it will rotate 790Rev/min
X 60Min/hour=47,000 rev/hour.

Or 790 rev/min X 1min/60 sec=13.17rev/sec.
