Use the ratio 1 meter is approximately equal to 1.09 yards. Martha runs 1,000 meters in a race. How many yards does Martha run

Answer 1

To find how many yards Martha runs, we can use the ratio 1 meter is approximately equal to 1.09 yards.

We know that Martha runs 1,000 meters in a race.

We can set up the following proportion:

1 meter / 1.09 yards = 1,000 meters / x yards

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

1 meter * x yards = 1.09 yards * 1,000 meters

Simplifying, we get:

x yards = 1.09 * 1,000 meters

x yards = 1,090 yards

Therefore, Martha runs approximately 1,090 yards in the race.
