Question

Ricky Major

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of each curved path is 200 feet. Since the two curved semi circular paths are equal, they would form a circle. It means that the distance around the two semi circular paths would be the circumference of the circle. Formula for determining the circumference of the circle is π × diameter. It becomes

200 × 3.14 = 628 feet

Total distance around the track would be

300 + 300 + 628 = 1228 feet

5280 feet = 1 mile

1228 feet = 1228/5280 = 0.23 mile

If he runs around the track exactly 15 times, it means that the number of miles covered is

0.23 × 15 = 3.45 miles

Since he will collect $4.50 for every mile he runs, the amount of money that he collected is

4.5 × 3.45 = $15.5
