"The length of the Boston Marathon is 138,435 ft. Each stride, or step, by a particular runner is 3 ft. long. Does the number of strides the runner takes fit evenly into the length of the race? Explain"
I don't understand what I'm supposed to do or what it's asking me to do.
Can somebody please explain and help me understand what I'm supposed to do?
they are just asking whether 3 divides 138435
ok thnx steve
@you don’t have to believe me
I got a 7/20 so I don’t think I would use these answers
Of course! In this question, you are given the length of the Boston Marathon in feet, which is 138,435 ft. You are also given that each stride or step taken by a particular runner is 3 ft long.
To determine whether the number of strides the runner takes fits evenly into the length of the race, you will need to divide the length of the race by the length of each stride.
In this case, you can divide 138,435 ft by 3 ft to find out how many strides it would take to cover the entire length of the race. To do this, you can use the division operation, which is represented by the symbol "/".
So, to find the answer:
Number of strides = Length of the race / Length of each stride
Substituting the given values:
Number of strides = 138,435 ft / 3 ft
Now, you can perform this division calculation to find the result.

21.yes, because it divides evenly.
138,435/3=46145 strides
22.yes, it is a prime factorization and here are the numbers 2x2x2x2x2x3x5x5x5x5x11x11
I'm sorry if i got 1 or 2 questions wrong if I did it's probably cuz there are a lot of questions and a lot of answers so i may have messed up if i did, please let me know!
