Answer:

37.9 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of John's bicycle =

[tex]2\pi \: r \\ = 2(3.14)(1.1 \div 2) \\ = 3.454m[/tex]

Total number of wheel turns =

[tex] \frac{total \: distance \: travelled}{circumference \: of \: wheel} \\ = \frac{131}{3.454} \\ = 37.9 \: times \: (nearest \: tenth)[/tex]
