A circular jogging track is being designed so that one complete lap around the track is one mile long. What should the radius of the track be to the nearest foot? (one mile equals five thousand two hundred eighty feet) two thousand six hundred forty feet one thousand seven hundred sixty feet one thousand six hundred eighty-two feet eight hundred forty-one feet

OpenStudy (bibby):

They want the circumference of the track to be 1 mile. First convert that to feet. then plug it into the circumference formula
