ASK YOUR TEACHER Which is longer, a 1300-meter race or a 1-mile race? (Use 1000 meters = 0.62137 mile.) 1300-meter race 1-mile race By how much? (Use 1000 meters = 0.62137 mile. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) ___m By how much? (Use 1 meter = 3.28084 feet and 1 mile = 5280 feet. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) ___m<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To compare the lengths of a 1300-meter race and a 1-mile race, we need to first convert the 1300 meters into miles using the conversion factor:
1 kilometer (1000 meters) = 0.62137 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Convert 1300 meters to miles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, divide 1300 by 1000 to convert the 1300 meters into kilometers, and then multiply by the conversion factor to get the result in miles:1300\u2009m\u00d70.62137\u2009mile1000\u2009m=0.807781\u2009miles1300 \\, \\text{m} \\times \\frac{0.62137 \\, \\text{mile}}{1000 \\, \\text{m}} = 0.807781 \\, \\text{miles}1300m\u00d71000m0.62137mile\u200b=0.807781miles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Compare the two distances<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now, we compare the 1300-meter race with a 1-mile race.
The 1300-meter race is approximately 0.8078 miles, which is less than 1 mile. So, the 1300-meter race is shorter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find out by how much shorter it is, subtract the length of the 1300-meter race from 1 mile:1\u22120.807781=0.192219\u2009miles1 – 0.807781 = 0.192219 \\, \\text{miles}1\u22120.807781=0.192219miles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Convert the difference to meters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To convert the difference back into meters, multiply the difference in miles by 1000:0.192219\u2009miles\u00d71000\u2009miles\/km=192.2\u2009meters0.192219 \\, \\text{miles} \\times 1000 \\, \\text{miles\/km} = 192.2 \\, \\text{meters}0.192219miles\u00d71000miles\/km=192.2meters<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rounding this to the nearest whole number, the 1300-meter race is 192 meters shorter than the 1-mile race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Convert the difference to feet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To convert the 192.2 meters difference into feet, use the conversion factor 1 meter = 3.28084 feet:192.2\u2009m\u00d73.28084\u2009feet\/m=631.8\u2009feet192.2 \\, \\text{m} \\times 3.28084 \\, \\text{feet\/m} = 631.8 \\, \\text{feet}192.2m\u00d73.28084feet\/m=631.8feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rounding this to the nearest whole number, the 1300-meter race is 632 feet shorter than the 1-mile race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary of Results<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • The 1300-meter race is 192 meters shorter<\/strong> than the 1-mile race.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The 1300-meter race is 632 feet shorter<\/strong> than the 1-mile race.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    By following these steps and using the conversion factors, we can easily compare the two races and calculate the difference in both meters and feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
