Question

Anne runs 6 laps on a track. She runs a total of 1 mile, or 5,280 feet. Write and solve an equation to find the distance, in feet, that she runs in each lap.

Answer 1

To find the distance per lap, divide the total feet, which is 5,280 by the number of laps which is 6. This means that 5280/6=880ft
Thus, Anne runs 880 feet per lap.

Answer 2

Anne runs 800 feet per lap.

Explanation:

Givens

• Anne runs 6 laps on a track.
• She rund 1 mile which equals 5,280 feet.

Now, to find the distance Anne runs in one lap we just need to divide the total number of feet by the total number of laps, as follows

`(5,280ft)/(6laps)= 800 ft/lap`

Therefore, Anne runs 800 feet per lap.
