Question

the length of your stride is 30 inches, if you walk 10,000 steps in a day, how many miles will you walk? Rounded to the nearest tenth​

Answer 1

Answer: 4.7 miles

Explanation:

First we must calculate the length walked in inches.

The stride is 30 inches and you walked 10,000 steps in a day.

So the distance traveled was

`30\ in*10,000=300,000\ in`

Now we must calculate this distance in miles.

In one mile there are 63360 inches. We use this data as a conversion factor

`300,000\ in*(1\ mile)/(63360\ in)=4.7\ miles`

You walk 4.7 miles

Answer 2

4.7 miles

Explanation:

10, 000 steps (stride) * 30 inches per stride = 300,000 inches per day.

To know miles, we need the miles-to-inches conversion, which is:

1 miles = 63,360 inches

To find number of miles walked in a day, we would need to divide total (300,000) by 63,360 :

`(300,000)/(63,360)=4.73`

So, that 4.73 miles a day

Rounded to nearest tenth, 4.7 miles per day
