Question

One of Eric's steps is 18in long. How many steps would he take to walk 1 mile?

Answer 1

Answer: 3520 steps

Step-by-step explanation:

• 1 mile = 63360 inches
• 1 step = 18 in

Use proportions and set x = number of steps in a mile:

$\frac{1}{18 in}=\frac{X}{63360 in}$

18x = 63360

x = 63360 ÷ 18 = 3520 steps.

Answer 2

Answer:

3520 steps

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we must do is figure out how many inches are in a mile. (There are 63,360 inches in one mile). With that out of the way, we can now divide these inches by 18, since each of Eric's steps are 18 inches long, and we want to determine how many steps he would have to take. 63,360 divided by 18 is 3520. This means our answer is 3520 steps, and that is how many steps he must take to walk 1 mile. I hope you understood and please let me know if you still need help!
