While playing in a soccer match, Kevin ran from his end of the field to the opposing end and back 33 times. The field is 330 feet long. How many miles did Kevin run during his match?
Need someone to explain in details.
(330*2*33)/5280 = ?
I my answer 4 1/8 miles?
To find out how many miles Kevin ran during his match, we need to first calculate the total distance he covered in feet, and then convert that distance to miles.
Given that Kevin ran from his end of the field to the opposing end and back 33 times, we can calculate the total distance covered by him by multiplying the length of the field by the number of times he ran back and forth.
The length of the field is given as 330 feet.
So, the total distance Kevin ran in feet can be found by multiplying the field length by the number of times he ran back and forth:
Total distance in feet = 330 feet * 33 times
Now, we can calculate the actual distance covered using the formula:
Distance in miles = Distance in feet / 5280
Dividing the total distance in feet by 5280 will give us the distance in miles since there are 5280 feet in a mile.
So, the final calculation would look like this:
Distance in miles = (330 feet * 33 times) / 5280
Simplifying this equation will give us the answer.
