You are participating in a 5k race which is 3.1 miles. If there are 5,280 feet in one mile, complete the proportion to determine how many feet are in the 5k race

Answer 1

To determine how many feet are in a 5k race, you can use the following steps:

1. Convert miles to feet. Since there are 5,280 feet in one mile, we can multiply the number of miles (3.1) by the number of feet in a mile (5,280).

   \[ 3.1 \text{ miles} \times 5,280 \text{ feet/mile} = 16,368 \text{ feet} \]

So, there are 16,368 feet in a 5k race.
