If each lap in a pool is 100 meters long, how many laps equal one mile? Round to the nearest tenth. (Hint: 1 foot ≈0.3048 meter)

If each lap in a pool is 100 meters long, how many laps equal one mile Round to the nearest tenth. (Hint:1 foot=0.3048 meter) 1 mile = 5280 ft lets do a ratio: 1ft/.3034m = x ft/100m the ft and meters sybols cancel, so 1/.3048 = x/100 so 100/.3038 = x = 329.164 so there are 329.164 ft for every 100 meters to find the number of laps to get to a mile which is 5280, do another ratio 329.164ft/100 m = 5280 ft/xm the left side reduces to 3.29164 = 5280/x you can compute this and see that 5280/3.29164 = 1604.064 meters 1604.064 meters * 1 lap / 100m = 16.04064 laps are required to make a mile
