To determine how many laps you need to run around a 120-yard field to equal a mile, you first need to know that a mile is 1760 yards.
Given the length of the field is 120 yards, you can calculate the number of laps by dividing the total distance of a mile by the length of the field:
Number of laps 1760 yards 120 yards/lap
Number of laps
1760/120
≈ 14.67
Therefore, you need to run approximately 14.67 laps around the 120-yard field to equal a mile.
