A high school has a 400 m oval track. If Pat runs around the track eight times, how many kilometers has she traveled
Each lap around the track is 400 meters. To find how many kilometers Pat has traveled after running eight laps, we can multiply 400 meters by 8:
400 meters/lap * 8 laps = 3200 meters
To convert meters to kilometers, we need to divide by 1000:
3200 meters/1000 = 3.2 kilometers
Therefore, Pat has traveled 3.2 kilometers after running around the track eight times.
Convert 128km to m
To convert kilometers to meters, we need to multiply by 1000 because there are 1000 meters in a kilometer.
Therefore, to convert 128 km to m:
128 km * 1000 = 128,000 m
So, 128 km is equal to 128,000 m.
To find out how many kilometers Pat has traveled, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Determine the length of one lap around the track.
The track's length is given as 400 meters. However, since a lap requires Pat to run both the straight and curved sections of the track, the length of one lap is twice the length of the straight section.
Let's assume the straight sections on the track are 100 meters long. Therefore, one lap would be 100 meters (straight section) + 100 meters (curved section) = 200 meters.
Step 2: Calculate the distance covered in 8 laps.
Since Pat runs around the track eight times, the total distance covered would be the length of one lap multiplied by the number of laps.
Distance covered = 200 meters/lap * 8 laps = 1600 meters
Step 3: Convert the distance to kilometers.
To convert 1600 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 since there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer.
Distance in kilometers = 1600 meters / 1000 = 1.6 kilometers
Therefore, Pat has traveled a total of 1.6 kilometers.
