Question

Jake ran two laps around a running

track that measures 1.2 miles. Then
he biked three laps around a biking
track that measures 4.55 miles. What
total distance did he ride and run?

Answer 1

The total distance he ran and rode is 16.05 miles

Explanation:

Here, we want to find the total distance that was ran and biked by Jake

For the running, the track measures 1.2 miles and he ran two laps.

That gives a total of 1.2 * 2 = 2.4 miles

For the biking, the track is 4.55 miles and he went 3 laps.

The total amount of laps went is 4.55 * 3 = 13.65 miles

So the total amount of distance he has biked and ran is 13.65 + 2.4 = 16.05 miles
