One lap around a standard high-school running track is exactly 0.25 miles. Write the function miles_to_laps() that takes a number of miles as an argument and returns the number of laps. Complete the program to output the number of laps.
Output each floating-point value with two digits after the decimal point, which can be achieved as follows:
print('{:.2f}'.format(your_value))
Ex: If the input is:
1.5
the output is:
6.00
Ex: If the input is:
2.2
the output is:
8.80
Your program must define and call the following function:
def miles_to_laps(user_miles)

Answer 1

Answer:

The program in python is as follows:

def miles_to_laps(user_miles):

     return (user_miles/0.25)

mile = float(input("Number of Miles: "))

print("Number of laps: ",end="")

print('{:.2f}'.format(miles_to_laps(mile)))

Explanation:

The first line defines the function miles_to_lap

def miles_to_laps(user_miles):

This line returns the equivalent number of laps

     return (user_miles/0.25)

The main method starts here

This line prompts user for input

mile = float(input("Number of Miles: "))

This line prints the string "Number of laps", without the quotes

print("Number of laps: ",end="")

This prints the equivalent number of laps to two decimal places

print('{:.2f}'.format(miles_to_laps(mile)))

Answer 2

The program converts the number of miles enters by the user to an equivalent measure in laps is written in python 3 thus :

def miles_to_laps(miles):

#initialize the function which takes in a single parameter

return (miles/0.25)

mile_value= eval(input("Number of Miles: "))

#allows user to input a value representing distance in miles

print("Number of laps: ",end="")

#display Number o laps with cursor on th same line

print('{:.2f}'.format(miles_to_laps(mile_value)))

#pass user's vlaue to the function to Obtain the lap value.

A sample run of the program is attached.
