Great.
To jog 1 mile, 5280 ft, how many times does he need to go around a 1320 ft circuit?
5280 ft/1320 ft = ?

Answer 6

Answer 7

4?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

correct
Now let's check.
If he goes once around he goes 1320 ft
If he goes 4 times around the field, he goes 4 * 1320 ft = 5280 ft which is what the probelm is asking, so 4 times is correct.
