1,000 meters = 0.62 miles 5,280 feet = 1 mile if a boy runs 550 meters, then how many feet does he travel? i am confused so explain !

Set up a proportion:

The numerator is the amount of meters, and the denominator is the amount of miles.

Cross multiply the fractions:

Divide both sides by 1000 to get x by itself:

The boy runs 0.341 miles.

To convert this into feet, multiply the amount of miles by the amount of feet in a mile:

Rounded to the nearest foot, the boy travels 1800 feet.

First, convert 550 meters to miles. If 1000 meters = 0.62 miles, then 1 meter = 0.62/1000 = 0.00062 miles. Then, 550 meters = 0.00062 * 550 = 0.341 miles.

Now convert 3.41 miles to feet. There are 5280 feet in a mile, meaning there are 0.341 * 5280 = 1800.48 feet in 0.341 miles.

The answer is 1800.48 feet.
