Question

A cancer research walk is being held at two different parks in the city. Ace Park measures 75m long and 40m wide. Lewis Park measures 90m long and

30m wide. Jay walked two rounds around Ace Park. Sandra walked two rounds around Lewis Park. Who walked longer and by how much?

Answer 1

Sandra walked longer by 240 - 230 = 10 meters.

Explanation:

To find out who walked longer and by how much, we need to calculate the distance walked by each person.

For Jay who walked two rounds around Ace Park, the distance walked is:

Distance = 2 × (length + width) = 2 × (75 + 40) = 230 meters

For Sandra who walked two rounds around Lewis Park, the distance walked is:

Distance = 2 × (length + width) = 2 × (90 + 30) = 240 meters

Therefore, Sandra walked longer by 240 - 230 = 10 meters.
