Question

After each soccer practice, Scott runs 2 sprints of 40 yards each. I'm confused. Complete the explanation to find how many practices it will take for Scott to have sprinted a total of 2 miles combined if he continues his routine. Scott sprints _____ yards each practice. Since there are ______ yards in 2 miles, he will need to continue his routine for ______ practices.

Answer 1

The number of practice is
`E = 44` practices

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number of sprints is
`n = 2`

The length of each sprint is
`L = 40 \ yard`

After each practice Scott sprints

`x = 40 * 2`

`x = 80 \ yard`

In a mile we have 1,760 yd

so in 2 miles we have z yd

Therefore

`z = (2 * 1760)/(1)`

`z = 3520\ yd`

Since each practice takes
`x = 80 \ yard`

The total number of practice it would take Scott to complete 2 miles is

mathematically evaluated as

`E = (3520)/(80)`

`E = 44` practices
