I am having trouble solving this problem. Q - One mile is 5280 feet. Justin has a stride of 32 inches. How many steps will he take to run a 26-mile marathon. I tried 5280 x 32 = 168,960 incorrect. 5280 x 26 = 137,280 divided by 32 = 4290 incorrect.5280 divided by 3(3feet)=1760 x 26 = 45,760 incorrect
5,280 * 12 = _____ inches in one mile
Multiply the inches in one mile by 26.
Divide that product by 32.
To solve this problem, we need to find out how many steps Justin will take to run a 26-mile marathon.
First, let's determine the length of one step in feet. We know that Justin's stride is 32 inches, which is equivalent to 32/12 = 2.67 feet.
Next, we need to find out how many steps Justin will take in one mile. Since one mile is equal to 5280 feet, we divide 5280 by 2.67 to get the number of steps per mile.
So, the number of steps Justin will take in one mile is 5280 / 2.67 ≈ 1,978 steps.
Finally, to find out the number of steps for a 26-mile marathon, we multiply the number of steps per mile by 26.
Therefore, Justin will take approximately 1,978 x 26 = 51,428 steps to run a 26-mile marathon.
