We have that Jamir is training for a race and is running laps around a field:
• The distance around the field is 450 yards (per lap).
,• He needs to run at least 4 miles.
1. Now we can proceed as follows to find the number of laps Jamir needs to run as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1\text{ Mile}=1760.0065617yards \\ \\ 4\text{ Miles=}4(1760.0065617yards)=7040.0262468yards \end{gathered}[/tex]Then we have that Jamir needs to run about 7040.0262468 yards.
2. Since the distance around the field is 450 yards (per lap), then we have:
[tex]7040.0262468yards*\frac{1lap}{450yards}=15.6445027707laps[/tex]Therefore, in summary, Jamir needs to run about 15.64 laps to run at least 4 miles (almost 16 laps - if we round the result to the nearest whole number).
