Question

A rectangular field is 150 metres long and 100 metres wide. How many

times would a runner have to go around the field to run 2 kilometres?

Answer 1

4 times

Explanation:

Find the perimeter of the rectangular field

P=2(L+W)➡️ L is for length, W is for width

P=2(150+100)=2(250)=500m

After that, you need to convert 2KM into metres

So, 2×1000=2000m

Then divide the number of metres the runner would run by the perimeter of the rectangular field

2000/500=4 times

Therefore, the runner will go around the field 4 times
