Answer 1

10,500.93 feet

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that Tom walks 3.2km every morning.

1 mile = 1.609km

1 mile = 5280 feet

Step 1

1.609km = 1 mile

3.2km = x mile

Cross Multiply

x mile × 1.609km = 3.2km × 1 mile

x mile = 3.2km × 1 mile/1.609.

= 1.9888129273 miles

1 mile = 5280 feet

1.9888129273miles = y

Cross Multiply

y = 1.9888129273 × 5280 feet/1 mile

= 10500.932256 feet

Approximately = 10,500.93 feet

Therefore, Tom walks for 10,500.93 feet

10560
