one mile is 5,280feet. i have a stride of 32inches. how many steps will i take to run a 26-mile marathon?
26mi * 5280ft/mi * 12in/ft * 1stride/32in = 51480 strides
(5,280 * 26)/2.6667 = ?
To find out how many steps you will take to run a 26-mile marathon, we need to calculate the number of steps in one mile and then multiply it by 26.
First, let's convert your stride length from inches to feet:
32 inches = 32/12 = 2.67 feet (approximately).
Next, we calculate the number of steps in one mile:
1 mile = 5,280 feet.
So, the number of steps in one mile can be found by dividing the total distance by the stride length:
Number of steps in one mile = 5,280 feet / 2.67 feet ≈ 1975 steps.
Finally, to calculate the number of steps in a 26-mile marathon, we multiply the number of steps in one mile by 26:
Number of steps in a 26-mile marathon = 1975 steps/mile × 26 miles ≈ 51,350 steps.
Therefore, you will take approximately 51,350 steps to run a 26-mile marathon with a stride length of 32 inches.
