Answer:
1.36364 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine whether Joe will cover at least 3 miles after running the circular route 20 times, we need to calculate the total distance he covers.
The distance of the circular route is 120 yards. To find the distance Joe covers in one lap, we'll convert yards to miles:
1 yard = 0.000568182 miles
So, 120 yards = 120 * 0.000568182 miles ≈ 0.068182 miles
Now, let's find out how far Joe runs in 20 laps:
Distance in one lap = 0.068182 miles
Total distance in 20 laps = 20 laps * 0.068182 miles/lap
Total distance = 1.36364 miles
Since Joe's goal is to run 3 miles each week for his health, and he covers approximately 1.36364 miles in 20 laps, he will not cover at least 3 miles by running the circular route 20 times. He will cover approximately 1.36364 miles.
