Question

Anne runs 6 laps on a track. She runs a total of 1 mile, or 5280 feet. Write and solve an equation to find the distance in feet that she runs in each lap

Answer 1

6 laps = 1 mi.

1 mi. = 5280 ft

Let L equal the distance of one lap...

6 L = 5280

Divide by 6 on both sides...

So what is 5280/6 ??
