Answer 1

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Once around park measures 420 yards

Todd needs to complete 5 miles

He runs 30 times during the week

We know, $1\ mile=1760\ yards$

for 30 rounds, distance is

$\Rightarrow 30\times 420=12,600\ \text{yards}$

In miles, it is

$\Rightarrow 12,600\equiv \dfrac{12,600}{1760}\\\Rightarrow 7.159\approx 7.16\ \text{miles}$

As he runs more than the target. Therefore, he completed his target of 5 miles.
