Answer: The team will need to run the route 0.15 miles / 2 miles = 7.5 times to cover a total distance of 2 miles.
Explanation:
First, we need to convert the yard measurements to miles to make them consistent with the target distance of 2 miles. We can use the conversion factor 1 mile = 1760 yards.
48 yards = 48/1760 miles
80 yards = 80/1760 miles
46 yards = 46/1760 miles
92 yards = 92/1760 miles
Next, we can add up the distances on each side of the route to find the total distance covered by the track team.
Top: 48 yards + 80 yards = 128 yards = 128/1760 miles
Middle: 46 yards + 92 yards = 138 yards = 138/1760 miles
Finally, we can add up the top and middle distances to find the total distance covered by the track team.
128 yards + 138 yards = 266 yards = 266/1760 miles = 0.15 miles
So, the team will need to run the route 0.15 miles / 2 miles = 7.5 times to cover a total distance of 2 miles.
