The distance would change by 62.85
How to solve for the distance
If the radius of the small gear is 1.5 inches and the radius of the large gear is 4.5 inches, we have;
Number of rotation of the small gear for each rotation of the large gear = 3 rotations
We have the number of rotation of the wheel = 3
Then we have to solve for distance
= 3 × 2 × π × 10 inches = 60*π inches
The difference in distance = 60*π inches - 40*π inches =
20·π inches
= 20 x 22/7
= 62.85
The distance traveled by the bicycle increases by 62.85 inches
