$288.5$ in.

Diameter of bicycle tire = $27$ in.

Rotation of tire at highest gear in one pedal = $3.4$ times

Distance traveled by bicycle in one pedal at highest gear = ?

Remember, one rotation of the wheel will cover the distance equal to the circumference of the wheel.

Therefore, circumference of wheel = $2pir$ = $2 xx 22/7 xx27/2$ = $84.85$

(where, $27/2$ is the radius of the wheel)

So, circumference of wheel = $84.85$ in = 1 rotation of wheel

Then, distance covered by 3.4 rotations of wheel = $84.85 xx3.4$

= $288.49$ in or $288.5$ in.
