Question

If each lap in a pool is 100 meters long, how many laps equal one mile? Round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Each lap in a pool = 100 meters long.
Find the total number of laps are there in one mile.
First, let’s identify the value of 1 mile in meters.
=> 1 mile = 1 609.34 meters
Now, let’s divide it by 100 to know  how many laps are there:
=> 1 609.34 / 100
=> 16.0934
Round to the nearest tenths
=> 16.1
Thus, there are 16.1 laps in one mile in a pool. Every laps measures 100 meters long
