Question

A rectangular park is 150 yards on one side and 125 yards on the other. If Debbie walks around the park two times how far does she walk. If Debbie wanted to walk 1,000,000 yards how many times she would have to walk around the park

Answer 1

Hello.

Answer 2

Do you know how to find the area of a rectangle?

Answer 3

No

Answer 4

Area = base * height

Answer 5

Ok

Answer 6

One side is 150, another side is 125.
You may multiply these values to receive the area of the rectangle, do you mind doing that for me?

Answer 7

I can do that

Answer 8

Type your answer when you are done, thank you.

Answer 9

18,750

Answer 10

Yes, correct.

Answer 11

37,500

Answer 12

I apologize, I made a mistake.

Answer 13

Ok

Answer 14

Ok

Answer 15

How many sides are there on a rectangle?

Answer 16

4

Answer 17

Two sides have the same value, so 2(150) + 2(125) = ?

Answer 18

300 + 250 = one whole perimeter around the park.

Answer 19

Debbie walks around it twice, which means you multiply the perimeter by 2.
550*2 = ?

Answer 20

279?

Answer 21

I'm sorry where did you get that value?

Answer 22

There is two sides with the same value, so 150 + 150 + 125 + 125 = ?

Answer 23

My caculator

Answer 24

The perimeter is 550 yards.

Answer 25

550

Answer 26

Multiply by two for two times around the park.
550 * 2 = ?

Answer 27

1,100

Answer 28

Area = 18,750 yards
Perimeter = 550, Debbie walks around it two times, so 550 * 2 = 1,100.
Now the final part: All you have to do is 1,000,000 yards divided by the perimeter, which is 550.

Answer 29

1,000,000 / 550 = ?

Answer 30

Ok

Answer 31

1818

Answer 32

Okay good, but she wants to go at least 1,000,000 yards.

Answer 33

So, you must add 1, because if you didn't she wouldn't have gone at least 1,000,000 yards total.

Answer 34

So, the answer would be 1819 times.

Answer 35

Ok thank you you ar so smart :)

Answer 36

Sure thing, anytime!
