Question

the dimensions of a track used for cycling competitions, called a velodrome, is measured in meters. addison currently bikes in a 7.5 kilometer race, which is 30 laps around the track, or a total of approximately 4.65 miles. for the next race, addison would like to bike in the longer race, which is 40 laps. approximately how many miles is this race? miles

Explanation:

Step1: Find distance per lap in miles

We know 30 laps is approximately 4.65 miles. So distance per lap $d$ is $d=\frac{4.65}{30}= 0.155$ miles.

Step2: Calculate distance for 40 - lap race

The distance $D$ for 40 laps is $D = 0.155\times40$.
$D=6.2$ miles.

Answer:

6.2
