Answer:

46.6 laps

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Length of the lap (l): 1056 ft
  • Total distance to be run (d): 15.0 km

Step 2: Convert "l" to km

We will use the conversion factor 1 km = 3280.84 ft.

1056 ft × (1 km / 3280.84 ft) = 0.3219 km

Step 3: Calculate the number of laps that you should run

We will use the following expression.

laps = d/l

laps = 15.0 km/(0.3219 km/lap)

laps = 46.6 laps
