Question

Lane 1 at your local track is 0.25 miles long. You live 0.5 miles away from the

track. You jog to the track and then 5 times around track in Lane 1. What is
the total distance you jog?

Answer 1

To find the total distance jogged, we need to add the distance jogged to the track and the distance covered by 5 laps around Lane 1 of the track.

The distance jogged to the track is 0.5 miles, and each lap around Lane 1 is 0.25 miles. Therefore, the distance covered by 5 laps around Lane 1 is:

5 laps x 0.25 miles/lap = 1.25 miles

So the total distance jogged is:

0.5 miles + 1.25 miles = 1.75 miles

Therefore, the total distance jogged is 1.75 miles.
