4
mile long. The track and field team ran 2 2
3
laps around the track. How many miles did the team run?

Answer 1

Given:

The running track behind the local gym is 3/4 mile long.

The track and field team ran 2 2/3 laps around the track.

To find:

How many miles did the team run?

Solution:

The length of the running track behind the local gym = $\frac{3}{4} \:mile$

No. of laps the track and field team ran around the track = $2\frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{3} \:laps$

So, we can say that,

By running 1 lap around the track, the team covers = $\frac{3}{4} \:miles$

Then, by running $\frac{8}{3} \:laps$ around the track, the team covered,

= $\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{8}{3}$

= $\frac{8}{4}$

= $\bold{2\:miles}$

Thus, the team ran 2 miles around the track.
