That would depend upon the size of the tire.
My car has tires that are about 221/4" in diameter which means they have circumference:
circumference = π x diameter
≈69.9"
which is the distance travelled in one complete revolution of the tire.
1 mile = 63360 in
⇒ revolutions = 1 mile ÷ circumference_of_tire
≈ 63360 in ÷ 69.9 in
≈ 906.43 revolutions per mile
My bicycle has tires that are about 271/2" in diameter meaning the number of revolutions is:
revolutions ≈ 63360 in ÷ (π x 271/2 in)
≈ 733.39 revolutions per mile

How many turns would the smallest bicycle with tire diameter 0.76 inches have to make to go the same distance?
First you have to know the distance you wish to travel. Then you simply calculate the circumfrance of the tire. (2pie*radius) which would give you around 4.77 inches. Divide the distance you want to go by 4.77 and you get the proper amount of turns.
