A park is 4.6 miles long and 2.7 miles wide. If a racecar drove 50 times around the park. How far will it have to go?

Respuesta :

The race-car will have to go for 730 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • A park is 4.6 miles long and 2.7 miles wide
  • A race-car drove 50 times around the park

We need to find how far it will have to go

∵ The car will move around the park

- That means it moves the distance equal the perimeter of the park

∵ The dimensions of the park are 4.6 mile long and 2.7 miles wide

∵ The perimeter of the park = 2(length + width)

∴ The perimeter of the park = 2(4.6 + 2.7)

∴ The perimeter of the park = 2(7.3)

∴ The perimeter of the park = 14.6 miles

∵ The car will move around the park 50 times

∵ The distance of one round is 14.6 miles

∴ The distance for 50 rounds = 14.6 × 50

∴ The distance for 50 rounds = 730 miles

The race-car will have to go for 730 miles
