Question

If I run a track that is 3/8 of a mile long and I run 8 laps how far have i run?

Answer 1

i think it's 3 miles.

Answer 2

well here's the math

3/8 x 8 ( for the number of laps that you ran) = 24/8

Then you take 24  divided 8 (24/8) = 3

So, you have ran 3 miles.

Answer 3

8 miles   wait no  its either 6 or it is 3

Answer 4

3 Miles

Answer 5

3/8 * 8/1 = 24/8 = 3

Answer 6

why is the track funny? thats too much math to do, give me a regular 1/4 of a mile track anyday.

Answer 7

It depends on the track.

Some are wider than others.

But generally speaking, on an usual track, a lap is 1/4 of a mile. That means it is probably 2 miles.

But obviously if the track is 3/8 of a mile long a lap is way more than 1/4 of a mile. I would have to guess each lap is a little less than a mile.

That would be probably about 7 or 8 miles.
