A teacher walks around the hockey field 16 times every afternoon. The field measures 93.5m by 57m.How far has she walked in one school week
assuming a 5-day school week, that would be
2(93.5 + 57) * 16 * 5 = ____
To calculate the total distance the teacher has walked in one school week, we need to find the distance walked in one afternoon and then multiply it by the number of afternoons in a school week.
First, let's find the distance walked in one afternoon:
The teacher walks around the field 16 times, which means she covers the perimeter of the field 16 times.
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding all four sides.
Given:
Length of the field = 93.5m
Width of the field = 57m
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
Perimeter = 2 * (93.5 + 57)
Perimeter = 2 * (150.5)
Perimeter = 301m
So the teacher walks 301m in one afternoon.
Next, let's calculate the distance walked in one school week:
Assuming a school week consists of 5 afternoons,
Total distance walked in one school week = Distance walked in one afternoon * Number of afternoons in a school week
Total distance walked in one school week = 301m * 5
Total distance walked in one school week = 1505m
Therefore, the teacher has walked a total of 1505 meters in one school week.
To find out how far the teacher has walked in one school week, we need to calculate the total distance she walks in one day and then multiply it by the number of school days in a week.
Firstly, we need to calculate the total distance the teacher walks in one day. The teacher walks around the hockey field 16 times, so we need to calculate the distance covered in one round around the field.
To calculate the distance covered in one round, we need to find the perimeter of the field. The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all four sides.
For the given dimensions, the length of the field is 93.5m and the width is 57m. So, the perimeter is calculated as 2 * (length + width) = 2 * (93.5 + 57) = 2 * 150.5 = 301m.
Therefore, the distance covered in one round around the hockey field is 301m.
Now, let's find out how far the teacher walks in one school week. We'll multiply the distance covered in one day by the number of school days in a week.
Assuming there are 5 school days in a week (Monday to Friday), we can calculate the distance walked in one school week by multiplying the distance covered in one day by 5.
Distance walked in one school week = 301m * 5 = 1505m.
Therefore, the teacher has walked 1505m in one school week.
