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
