Answer:
It will take 44 practices for Scott to have sprinted a total of 2 miles combined
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved using rules of three.
First step:
Scott practice is measured in yards.
We want to know how many practices it will take for him to have sprinted 2 miles.
So we pass 2 miles to yards
Each mile has 1760 yards.
So 2 miles is 1760*2 = 3520 yards.
A practice:
4 sprints of 20 yards each.
So 4*20 = 80 yards.
A practice is 80 yards. How many practices for 3520 yards?
1 practice - 80 yards
x practices - 3520 yards
80x = 3520
x = 3520/80
x = 44
It will take 44 practices for Scott to have sprinted a total of 2 miles combined
