Question

A cycling race is 17 miles long. The cyclists will begin at point S and ride a number of laps around a neighborhood block. After the last lap, the cyclists will sprint 2.0 miles to the finish line.

A rectangle with a width of 0.75 miles and height of 0.5 miles. The 2 mile finish comes out of one corner.
Using the equation w (1.5 + 1) + 2 = 17, the race’s organizer determined the cyclists will need to ride 9 laps before the sprint to the finish. Which explains the error?

Answer 1

Answer:

The sentence which says that the cyclists will need to ride 9 laps is incorrect if we measure the distance accurately which is written above the incorrect statement.
