Answer 1

1,740 yards

Explanation:

Before soccer practice, Sally warms up by jogging around a soccer field that is 100 yards by 190 yards. How many yards does she jog if she goes around the field three times?

Sally is jogging the perimeter of the field:

perimeter = 2(length) + 2(width)

perimeter = 2(100) + 2(190)

perimeter = 580 yards

She jogs the perimeter three times so: 580 * 3 = 1,740 yards
