To determine how many strides Alondra will take to run 4 miles, we can start by examining the given information and identifying a pattern.
First, let's look at the number of strides she takes for the given distances:
1. For 1 mile, she takes 2,640 strides.
2. For 2 miles, she takes 5,280 strides.
3. For 5 miles, she takes 13,200 strides.
We can observe that:
- The number of strides for 2 miles is exactly double the number of strides for 1 mile.
- The number of strides for 5 miles can be verified by multiplying the number of strides for 1 mile by 5.
To find the number of strides for 4 miles, we need to understand the relationship between the miles and strides:
- 1 mile: 2,640 strides
- This means that the number of strides per mile is constant, i.e., 2,640 strides per mile.
Now to find the number of strides for 4 miles:
- Multiply the number of strides per mile by 4:
[tex]\[
4 \, \text{miles} \times 2,640 \, \text{strides/mile} = 10,560 \, \text{strides}
\][/tex]
So, Alondra will take [tex]\(10,560\)[/tex] strides to run 4 miles.
Hence, the correct answer is:
(C) 10,560
