Answer 2

@amistre64

Answer 3

1 stride = 3ft
\(x\) strides = 138,435 ft

Knowing that 1 stride = 3ft what we need to do is now divide \(138,435 \div 3\) to get how many strides the runner needs to take.

Answer 4

\[138,435\div 3\] = 46,145

Answer 5

Correct!

Answer 6

Is that the final answer?

Answer 7

Well since there is no remainder we can assume that it fits evenly with the race.
