Question

Maria ran 5 laps around the track. One lap around the track is 1/3 of a mile long. How far did maria run

Answer 1

The total distance run by Maris around the track is 1.67 miles

Explanation:

Given as :

The number of laps run by Maria around the track = 5 laps

The measure of 1 lap around the track =
`(1)/(3)` miles

Let The total distance run by Maris around the track = D miles

So, According to question

∵ The measure of 1 lap around the track =
`(1)/(3)` miles

∴ The measure of 5 lap around the track =
`(1)/(3)` × 5 miles

I.e The measure of 5 lap around the track =
`(5)/(3)` miles

So, the total distance run by Maris around the track = D = 1.67 miles

Hence The total distance run by Maris around the track is 1.67 miles Answer
