A woman athlete has to run a race of 600 m around  a rectangular field. If the length of field is 35 m and the breadth is 15 m, how many times does  she run around the field ?

$\pink{\Psi}\red{\underline{Solution:-}}$

It is given that the length of field is 35 m and the breadth is 15 m.

Perimeter of field is,

$perimeter = 2(length+breadth)$

$perimeter = 2(35+15)$

$perimeter = 2(50)$

$perimeter = 100$

$\bold{The\: perimeter\: of\: field \:is \:100 m.}$

A woman athlete has to run a race of 600m around a rectangular field.

$\bold{Number\: of \: rounds =\frac{Total\: distance}{Perimeter\: of\: field}}$

                                $= \bold{\frac{600}{100}}$

                                $= \bold{6}$

$\orange{Therefore, she\:\: ran\:\: 6\:\: times\: \:around\:\: the\: field.}$
