Question

5. Maria is tracking the number of miles she runs in one week. She is using the track at her

school, which measures in meters.

Part A; if Maria runs 5.000 meters each week, how many miles does she rung Round your

answer to the nearest tenth. (1 meter = 1.09361 yards)

Answer 1

0.00310 miles

Explanation:

Maria runs 5 m each week. We need to find how miles she run. It means we need to convert meters to miles. The relation between meter and yards is as follows :

1 meter = 1.09361 yards

Also, 1 mile = 1760 yards

It means,

1 mile = 1609.34 m

1 m = (1/1609.34) miles

`5\ m=(5)/(1609.34)\ \text{miles}\\\\=0.00310\ \text{miles}`

So, she will cover 0.00310 miles.
