I am working on word problems and trying to figure this one out and need help.

One mile is 5280 feet. Justin has a stride of 32 inches. How many steps will he take to run a 26 mile marathon?
5280 x 26 = 137,280 and I am stuck.

You have calculated the number of feet in 26 miles.

Now divide that by (32/12), the number of feet in one stride.

Or, you can multiply 137280 by 12 to get the number of inches in 26 miles, and then divide that by 32, the number of inches in one stride. Same difference.

To figure out how many steps Justin will take to run a 26-mile marathon, you need to divide the total distance by the length of his stride. Here's how you can do it:

1. Start with the information provided: One mile is equal to 5280 feet.

2. Next, convert the stride length from inches to feet. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, divide 32 inches by 12 to get the stride length in feet: 32 inches / 12 inches/foot = 2.67 feet.

3. Now, multiply the stride length (2.67 feet) by the total distance of the marathon in feet (137,280 feet): 2.67 feet/stride * 137,280 feet = 366,226.4 strides.

So, Justin will take approximately 366,226 strides to run a 26-mile marathon.
