Question

the average person's stride length ,the distance covered by one step ,is approximately 2.5 feet long.How many steps would the average person take to travel 50 feet?

Answer 1

Well, if 50 divided by 2.5 is 20, then 20 is the correct answer.

Answer 2

20 steps

∴ 50 feet =
`50*(1)/(2.5) = 20 steps`

Hence, person has to take 20 steps for travelling 50 feet.
