Answer:

9240 feet

Explanation:

Petrov ran 7 laps around a track.Each lap around the track is a distance of 1/4 mile.

Step 1

The total distance Petrov ran in miles is calculated as:

1 lap = 1/4 mile

7 laps = x mile

Cross Multiply

x = 7 × 1/4 mile

x = 1.75 miles

Step 2

What is the total distance Petrov ran in feet?

1 mile = 5280 feet

1.75 miles = x

Cross Multiply

x = 1.75 × 5280 feet

x = 9240 feet

Therefore, the total distance Petrov ran in feet is 9240 feet
