I REALLY NEED THE ANSWER SOON,
IF YOU CAN DO IT WELL THANK YOU.

Answer 1

• Total distance is 8000 m

------------------

According to the problem, 2 laps make a difference of 10% as:

• 50% - 40% = 10%

Hence the total distance in terms of laps is:

• 100% / 10% = 10 times the 2 laps:

Find the total distance:

• Total distance = 10*2 = 20 laps
• Total distance = 20*400 m = 8000 m
