Answer:
12 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The inner circle has a circumference of 2π*24 m =48π m.. The outer side of the track must be 1.5 times the circumference - 1.5 x 48π m = 72π meters. The radius of the outer side must be 72π m/2π = 36 m. The width of the track is the difference: 36 m -24 m= 12 meters.
The track is 12 meters wide.
