Part III:

Max wants to run a total of 3 laps around the track. Choose two additional lanes (2-8) for him to run and find the distance around those two lanes. Show your work and round your answer to the nearest hundredth. (4 points)



Answer :

Sure! Let's break this down step-by-step:

1. Identify the lengths of lanes available (in meters):
- Lane 2: 410 meters
- Lane 3: 420 meters
- Lane 4: 430 meters
- Lane 5: 440 meters
- Lane 6: 450 meters
- Lane 7: 460 meters
- Lane 8: 470 meters

2. Choose two additional lanes for Max to run:
- Let’s choose Lane 3 and Lane 5.

3. Find the distance for each chosen lane:
- Distance around Lane 3: 420 meters
- Distance around Lane 5: 440 meters

4. Calculate the total distance Max will run by summing up the distances of the two lanes:
- Total distance = Distance around Lane 3 + Distance around Lane 5
- Total distance = 420 meters + 440 meters

5. Add the distances together:
- 420 + 440 = 860 meters

6. Round the answer to the nearest hundredths if necessary:
- For this case, we do not need to round further since the total distance is already an integer.

Therefore, the distances around the two chosen lanes (Lane 3 and Lane 5) are 420 meters and 440 meters, respectively, and the total distance Max will run is 860 meters.
