The distance traveled is 62.8 inches.

How many inches will the bicycle travel with a single rotation of the large gear?

We know that the gear is rigidly attached to the center of the wheel. This means that in one complete rotation of the gear, we also have a complete rotation of the wheel.

Then the distance that the bicycle travel with a single rotation of the gear is equal to the circumference of the wheel, which is:

C = 2*pi*R

Where pi = 3.14 and R is the radius, which we know is 10inches.

Then:

C = 2*3.14*10in = 62.8in

The distance traveled is 62.8 inches.
