Question

Len plans to run at least 3 miles each day to get ready for a cross country race.One lap of the school track cover 440 yards.If Len runs 10 laps each day,will he cover at least 3 miles

Answer 1

No, he will not cover 3 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Len runs ten laps each day, he will cover 2.5 miles.

One mile equals 1,760 yards. If we know that one lap covers 4,400 yards, how many yards 10 laps covers?

10 laps x 440 yards = 4,400yards

1 lap

Now that we know that ten laps cover 4,400 yards, we have to find how many miles is 4,400 yards

1 mile x 4,400 yards = 2.5 miles

1,760 yards

Ten laps are not enough to cover 3 miles since they cover 2.5 miles.
