The question should be "Find the speed of the bicycle in feet per second and miles per hour."
4-inch pedal sprocket rotates at 1 rev/sec
2-inch wheel sprocket rotates at twice the rate of the pedal sprocket=2 rev/sec
14 inch wheel rotates 2/14=1/7 the rate of the wheel sprocket=2/7 rev/sec
inches and rev cancel out
(2/7)(28pi)/12=8pi/12=2pi/3=2.09 ft/sec
sec and ft cancel out
2pi3600/35280=1.42 mi/hr
..
speed of the bicycle=2.09 ft/sec or 1.42 mi/hr
