Ashley runs around the following track. How many times must she run around the track in order to run a total distance of 4 km?

measurements: 100m and 60m

I am assuming it is an oval shaped track where 100 is the diameter length wise and 60 is the diameter across.

Then, use this approximation to get your p, which is the circumference of the track.

where a = 100 and b = 60. Once you get p, convert it from m to km and divide 4 km by the value to get your answer.
