We need to convert from meters to feet to determine the number of feet the team will run:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1\text{ foot = 0.3048 }meter \\ \text{let the number of f}eet\text{ for 1600 m = y} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} 0.3048\text{ meter = 1 foot} \\ 1600\text{ meter = y} \\ \text{cross multiply:} \\ y(0.3048\text{ m) = 1 ft(1600 m)} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} 0.3048y\text{ = 1600} \\ y\text{ = }\frac{1600}{0.3048} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} y\text{ = 5249.34} \\ \text{Hence, the team will run 5249.34 f}et \end{gathered}[/tex]
