Bicyclists can calculate their speed if the gear size and cadence is known. Gear size refers to the effective diameter of the wheel. Gear size multiplied by pi (3.14) gives the distance travelled with one turn of the pedals. Cadence refers to the number of pedal revolutions per minute (rpm). The speed in miles per hour is calculated by the following:

Speed (mph) =

This is a program that calculates the speed for a gear size of 100 inches and a cadence of 90 rpm. This would be considered a high cadence and a maximum gear size for a typical bicycle. In writing your program, don’t forget that the expression 1/12 will result in 0, because both 1 and 12 are integers, and when the integer division is performed, the fractional part is discarded.
