You work for the city recreation
department, which is hosting a 5
kilometer run/walk next week. Your
coworker measured the course and
found that it is only 4.75 kilometers
long. He asks you to move the finish
line forward 0.25 kilometers. Your
tape measure is marked in feet and
inches. What is the distance he has
asked you to move the finish line, to
the nearest foot?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

820 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the finish line of the run/walk competition is 0.25 kilometers short.

So, we have to move forward the finish line by 0.25 kilometers i.e. 250 meters.

Now, 1 meter is equivalent to 3.28 feet.

So, 250 meters is equivalent to (250 × 3.28) = 820 feet.

Therefore, we have to move the finish line by 820 feet. ( Answer )
