Question

Matt walks his dog around the block. The block has a rectangle shape. The dimensions of the block is 3 miles long and 2450 yards wide. How many feet would Matt walk if he walked his dog around the block two times? Write an equation and solve for x.

Answer 1

So first we need to convert all of these to feet:

2450 yards is 7350 feet
3 miles is 15840 feet

Now we need to find the perimeter and then multiply by 2:

2(7350) + 2(15840) = 43680
2(43680) = 87360
