Given: 1.000 mile = 1.609 km, and 1 mile is exactly 5280 ft.

Do not include any units in your answer.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Total distance needed to be covered = 2.10×101 km

Distance covered in one lap = 1085 ft

Conversion of ft into km:

1 mile=1.609 km1 mile=5280 ft

Thus it implies that:

5280 ft=1.609 km1085 ft=1.609 km5280 ft×1085 ft=0.33064 km
