To find out how many feet are in a 5K run (3.1 miles), we can use the proportion based on the fact that there are 5,280 feet in one mile.
-
Start with the known conversion:
- 1 mile = 5,280 feet
-
Now, calculate the total feet in 3.1 miles: \[ 3.1 \text{ miles} \times 5,280 \text{ feet/mile} = 16,368 \text{ feet} \]
So, there are 16368 feet in the 5K run.
