Diane is training for a marathon and goes to the track (400 m) to run every morning.If Diane runs around the track 10 times, what is the distance in meters that she travels? Do not include the unit in your answer.

To answer this question, we need to remember what distance really is. Distance is far something moves in a scalar motion, which is not relative to where she starts out originally.

Since Diane travels around the track 10 times and the track is 400 meters long, she ultimately ends up traveling 4000 meters.
