NYC block

Bijan wants to go running during his family's vacation to New York City. To do so, he will run a neighborhood block 20 times. Bijan runs a total of 8 miles. The block has a length of 3/20 miles. Use the formula for the perimeter of the neighborhood block and the reciprocal to find the width w of the city block.

Correct answer:

w =  1/20 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

n=20 t=8 mi  l=203=0.15 mi p=t/n=8/20=52=0.4 mi  p = 2 (w+l)  w=p/2l=52/2203=201 mi=0.05 mi
