Question

Roger ran eight laps around a mile track during PE on Monday. Answer each question in the space provided. Part A How many feet did Roger run in completing eight laps? Part B If Roger wants to run 10 miles by the end of the week, how many more laps will he need to run this week?

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 10,560 ft. B) 32 more laps.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Four laps around a track is equal to one mile, and there are 5,280 feet in one mile. If Roger ran eight laps, he ran two miles. Therefore: 5,280 ft. times 2, is equal to 10,560 ft.

B) We know that Roger ran two miles Monday. We also know that four laps around a track is equal to one mile. In order to run 10 miles, he would have to run 40 laps, and since he already ran 8, we can subtract that from 40. You are left with 32 more laps.
