Problema Solution
If you jog around a rectangular block with a length of 320 yards and a width of 140 yards six times, to the nearest mile, how many miles have you jogged?
Answer provided by our tutors
1 yard = 0.000568182 miles
the perimeter of the rectangular block is P = 2(320 + 140) = 920 yards
6 times around the rectangular block is the length of
6*P = 6*920 = 5520 yards = 5520 * 0.000568182 = 3.14 = 3 miles
you will jog 3 miles.
