Ray has a stride of= 1.4m

How many strides does he need to run 9km.

First: We are going to pass 9km to meters.


9km*(1000meters)/(1km)=9000meters

Second: the equation to find the strides is:


1.4m*x=9000meters

Where x is the number of strides. Solving for x:


x=(9000)/(1.4)=6428.57\approx6428.6Strides

Answer: The number of Strides to run 9km is 6428.6 strides.
