Answer:-

0.64 feet ✓

Step-by-step Explanation:-

It's a logical and very interesting question. Just by seeing length of the question don't think its difficult, just we have to understand it logically.

You let's see how to do it :)

Width of 6-lane track = 28.68 feet

By using simple unitary method, we have:

Width of 1-lane track = $\sf{ \dfrac{28.68}{6} }$ = 4.78 feet

Now,

7-lane track = 28.96 feet

Again by using simple unitary method, we have:

Width of 1-lane track = $\sf{ \dfrac{28.96}{7}}$ = 4.14 feet

To find how much wider will be the lanes in 6-lane track from 7-lane track means how much more wider wider is 6-lane track, we will Substract 1-lane of 6-lane track from 1-lane of 7-lane track.... As.....

4.78 - 4.14 = 0.64 feet

Therefore, the lanes be in a 6-lane track will be 0.64 feet wider than in a 7-lane track...
