Question

Dorothy ran 6 times around a circular track that has a diameter of 47 m. Approximately how far did she run?  Use π = 3.14 and round your answer to the nearest meter.

First calulate circumference of circular track with 2(pi)r
Total distance run= 6 times the circumference
=6x2(pi)r
=885.48 metres
=nearest to 885 metres..I presume so..
@UmmmHELP ...what do you think?

anonymous · Answer

Yeah here is what I did

(3.14) * (47 meters)

= 148.52 meters

 ran around 6 times so  then
 
148.52 meters * 6

= 891.12 meters

@UmmmHELP ..sorry for the trouble
