sam runs around a rectangular field 4 times a week. The field is 320 meters long and 240 meters wide. He runs 6 laps each time. What distance does he run in a week'
P = 2L + 2W
P = (2 * 320) + (2 * 240)
P = 640 + 480
P = 1120 meters
1120 * 4 * 6 = _______ meters
26880
To find the distance Sam runs in a week, we need to multiply the distance he runs for each lap by the number of laps he runs each time, and then multiply that by the number of times he runs in a week.
The formula is:
Distance = (Length + Width) * 2 * Number of laps * Number of times per week
Given:
Length of the field = 320 meters
Width of the field = 240 meters
Number of laps = 6
Number of times per week = 4
Therefore, the distance Sam runs in a week can be calculated as follows:
Distance = (320 + 240) * 2 * 6 * 4
= 560 * 2 * 6 * 4
= 560 * 48
= 26,880 meters
So, Sam runs a distance of 26,880 meters in a week.
