Question

I need to know how to do this problem: Joan wants to jog 13 miles on a circular track 1/8 miles in diameter. (use 3.14 for pi)

Answer 1

The question is?

Answer 2

I'll try it again how many times must she circle the track

Answer 3

Any questions?

Answer 4

yeah where does the 12 come from

Answer 5

= 13/ (Pi/8) ~ 33.1 circles

Answer 6

It's just typo!

Answer 7

thanks

Answer 8

I think this math stuff is going to be the death of me

Answer 9

Since the perimeter of circle is D * pi = pi/8

Answer 10

Don't worry, you have entire OS building behind you :)

Answer 11

Thank you

Answer 12

So many person thought as you do, but just within 2 weeks they send thanks you around showing how they ace math!

Answer 13

The more you post, the more you learn :)

Answer 14

I still don't think I understand how this problem is done what are you multiplying

Answer 15

Suppose you can straight out the perimeter into a straight line!
since Joan want to run total 13 miles around the circular track,
=> divide total with the perimeter.
P = D pi = pi/8 miles

Answer 16

DIVIDE, not mutiply!
=> Total length/ P = 13 / (pi/8) = 33 rounds.
