The best approximation for how far the average person walks in a year is 816 miles, given that the average person takes about 5900 steps daily while he walking.
In the question, we are given that a person on average takes about 5900 steps daily while walking, and are asked for the best approximation of the distance traveled by the average person in a year.
The daily average number of steps taken = 5900 steps.
Thus, the average number of steps taken in a year = 5900 * 365 steps = 2153500 steps.
We are given that each step is about 2 ft. long.
Thus, the average distance traveled in a year = 2153500*2 ft. = 4307000 ft.
We are given that there are 5280 feet in a mile, which implies that, 1 foot is equivalent to 1/5280 miles.
Thus, the average distance traveled in a year = 4307000/5280 miles = 815.719696969 miles ≈ 816 miles.
Thus, the best approximation for how far the average person walks in a year is 816 miles, given that the average person takes about 5900 steps daily while he walking.
