Goran cycled a total of 23.1 mi in 7 laps.

Then, we can use the next expression:

23.1 mi / 7 = 3.3 mi

Hence, each lap has a length of 3.3 mi.

Now, we need to convert mi( miles) to feet:

Use the rule of three:

If 1 mile is equal to 5280 feet, then 3.3 miles is:

1 mi ------------ 5280 ft

3.3 mi ------------- x ft

x= (3.3 mi* 5280 ft) / 1 mi

x= 17424 ft

Hence, the answer is 17424 ft.
