anonymous · Answer

a.) 1 mile is equal to 1609.344 meter.

Total distance walked each day,
	0.6 miles x 2 =1.2 miles

Total distance walked the entire year,
	177days x 1.2 miles = 212.4 miles

Convert miles to meter,

b.) Total pair of shoes used,
|dw:1378725975445:dw|

*round up the answer to 69 pairs, since if it only 68 pairs were used it would not cover the total distance travelled.
