Question

A person walks on average 4000 steps per day. If one step is about 2 feet long, how much would the average person walk per week? HELP

Answer 1

56000 ft

Explanation:

4000 steps a day.

7 days in a week.

2 ft per step

so, we calculate how many steps in a week

4000 × 7 = 28000

and then we calculate the distance by saying each of these steps is 2 ft

so,

28000 × 2 = 56000 ft

as a little extra thought :

there are 5280 ft in a mile.

so, the person walks

56000 / 5280 miles = 10.61 miles

in a week.
