You work for the city recreation
department, which is hosting a 5
kilometer run/walk next week. Your
coworker measured the course and
found that it is only 4.75 kilometers
long. He asks you to move the finish
line forward 0.25 kilometers. Your
tape measure is marked in feet and
inches. What is the distance he has
asked you to move the finish line, to
the nearest foot?​

Answer 1

`\simeq 820 feet`

Explanation:

He has asked me to move the finish line 0.25 km forward

Now,

we know that

1 km = 0.621371 mile

⇒ 0.25 km =
`0.25 * 0.621371` mile

=
`0.25 * 0.621371 * 1760 * 3` feet

(since 1760 yards = 1 mile and 3 feet = 1 yard)

= 820.20972 feet

`\simeq 820 feet` . (Answer)
