Question

After each soccer practice, Scott runs 2 sprints of 40 yards each. I'm confused. Complete the explanation to find how many practices it will take for Scott to have sprinted a total of 2 miles combined if he continues his routine. Scott sprints _____ yards each practice. Since there are ______ yards in 2 miles, he will need to continue his routine for ______ practices.

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of practice is  $E = 44$ practices

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The number of sprints is  $n = 2$

     The length of each sprint is $L = 40 \ yard$

   

After each practice Scott sprints

       $x = 40 * 2$

        $x = 80 \ yard$

In a mile we have  1,760 yd

so in 2 miles we have  z yd

Therefore

            $z = \frac{2 * 1760}{1}$

            $z = 3520\ yd$

Since each practice takes  $x = 80 \ yard$

  The total number of practice it would take  Scott to complete 2 miles is  

mathematically evaluated as

               $E = \frac{3520}{80}$

              $E = 44$ practices
