My usual workout consists of running 10 laps around a 400 meter track. If I go to a track that is only 250 meters long, how many laps will I need to run to get the same workout?
To get the same workout, I need to cover the same distance as before. The distance I cover in 10 laps around a 400 meter track is 10 times 400, which is 4000 meters. To cover 4000 meters around a 250 meter track, I need to divide 4000 by 250, which gives me the number of laps. 4000 divided by 250 is 16, so I need to run 16 laps around the 250 meter track.
