Question

Nicole cycled 9 laps on a bicycle path around the lake. If each lap was 9540ft long, what was the total distance she cycled? Write your answers in miles.

Answer 1

162 miles.

Explanation:

To find the total distance Nicole cycled, we can multiply the number of laps by the length of each lap.

The total distance Nicole cycled is:

9 laps * 9540 ft/lap = 858,600 ft

To convert this distance to miles, we can use the conversion factor that there are 5280 feet in a mile.

858,600 ft / 5280 ft/mile = 162 miles

So the total distance Nicole cycled is 162 miles.
