To solve this problem, we will first calculate the distance you ran today in kilometers, and then convert it to feet.
Given:
Distance usually run in the morning = 3.5 km
Percentage of distance covered today = 56% = 0.56
Distance covered today = (Distance usually run in the morning) * (Percentage of distance covered today)
Distance covered today = 3.5 km * 0.56 = 1.96 km
To convert kilometers to feet, we will use the following conversion factors:
1 km = 1000 m
1 m = 3.281 ft
Converting distance covered today from km to ft:
Distance covered today (in meters) = 1.96 km * 1000 m/km = 1960 m
Distance covered today (in feet) = 1960 m * 3.281 ft/m = 6426.96 ft
Therefore, you ran approximately 6426.96 feet today.
Solve. Most mornings you run 3.5km, but this morning you were only able to run 56% of what you usually do. How many feet did you run today?
