The inside lane in the track is 50m and the outside of the track is 100m
4 lanes are added around the outside of the track shown above. Each lane is 1 meter wide and the lanes are immediately next to each other with no space in between. If Teresa runs once around the outside lane, and Martina runs once around the inside lane, how much further does Teresa run than Martina?
did you start this with "The inside lane in the track is 50m and the outside of the track is 100m" ?
That answers the question as I read it.
Yes I did since I can't put a picture of a track I just wrote down the problem so the question is asking how much further does Teresa run than Martina?
To find out how much further Teresa runs than Martina, we need to calculate the difference in distance between their two paths.
First, let's calculate the distance Martina runs around the inside lane. The inside lane is given as 50 meters, and since Martina runs once around it, the distance she runs is 50 meters.
Now, let's calculate the distance Teresa runs around the outside lane. Since the outside of the track is 100 meters and each of the added lanes is 1 meter wide, we need to add the width of each lane to the outside length. There are 4 additional lanes, so the total added width is 4 meters (4 lanes * 1 meter per lane). Therefore, the distance Teresa runs around the outside lane is 100 meters + 4 meters = 104 meters.
To find out how much further Teresa runs than Martina, we can subtract the distance Martina runs from the distance Teresa runs: 104 meters - 50 meters = 54 meters.
Therefore, Teresa runs 54 meters further than Martina.
